Isomerism is a subject which can easily become confusing due to the myriad of definitions and nomenclature it involves. Remembering a schematic diagram such as the one below often helps to focus the mind as to where each type of isomer fits. 

Using the domain definition and nomenclature presented in Fig. 10.1, the divergence theorem for a 2D vector f can be written as...

Section I deals with the chemistry of explosives. It starts with definitions and nomenclature of organic chemicals, based on molecular structure, which is included to bring nonchemists up to speed on being able recognize and describe pure explosive compounds and mixtures and not to be intimidated by chemists jargon. It then describes the many forms in which these explosive chemicals are used. Using molecular structure as the common thread, the text then goes into the estimation of the stoichiometry of oxidation reactions, the prediction of explosive detonation velocity and pressure properties, and the quantitative analysis of thermal stability.
