HIGHER MATHEMATICS FOR STUDENTS OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS. With special reference to Practical Work. 

The little book, Differential Equations in Applied Chemistry (Fig. 6), has been unsung for years, though all through an era when few engineers truly understood calculus it showed off powerful mathematical tools, among them (in the 1936 second edition) numerical solution methods. It connected with chemist J. W. Mellor s 1902 Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry... 

It is almost impossible to follow the later developments of physical or general chemistry without a working knowledge of higher mathematics. I have found that the regular text-books of mathematics rather perplex than assist the chemical student who seeks a short road to this knowledge, for it is not easy to discover the relation which the pure abstractions of formal mathematics bear to the problems which every day confront the student of Nature s laws, and realize the complementary character of mathematical and physical processes.
