We shall illustrate these rules first with H2 and then with other diatomic molecules. The same principles apply to polyatomic molecules, but their molecular orbitals are more complicated and their energies are harder to predict. Mathematical software for calculating the molecular orbitals and their energies is now widely available, and we shall show some of the results that it provides. 

For some reactions, the equation for x in terms of K ma> be a higher-order polynomial. If an approximation is not valid, one approach to solving the equation is to use a graphing calculator or mathematical software to find the roots of the equation. 

When rearranged, this equation is a cubic equation (an equation in x3), which can be solved with a graphing calculator or mathematical software. However, because K is very small, we suppose that x will turn out to be so small that we can use the approximation procedure ... 

This is a cubic equation in [H3Q+]. To solve this equation, it is best to use a graphing calculator or mathematical software like that on the Web site for this text. 

Cubic equations are often very tedious to solve exactly, and so it is better to use mathematical software, a graphing calculator, or a plotter, such as the one on the Web site for this book, and to identify the locations where the graph of y(x) against x passes through y = 0 (Fig. 2). 

Figure 8 depicts our view of an ideal structure for an applications program. The boxes with the heavy borders represent those functions that are problem specific, while the light-border boxes represent those functions that can be relegated to problem-independent software. This structure is well-suited to problems that are mathematically either systems of nonlinear algebraic equations, ordinary differential equation initial or boundary value problems, or parabolic partial differential equations. In these cases the problem-independent mathematical software is usually written in the form of a subroutine that in turn calls a user-supplied subroutine to define the system of equations. Of course, the user must write the subroutine that defines his particular system of equations. However, that subroutine should be able to make calls to problem-independent software to return many of the components that are needed to assemble the governing equations. Specifically, such software could be called to return in-... 

Consider Equations (6-10) that represent the CVD reactor problem. This is a boundary value problem in which the dependent variables are velocities (u,V,W), temperature T, and mass fractions Y. The mathematical software is a stand-alone boundary value solver whose first application was to compute the structure of premixed flames.Subsequently, we have applied it to the simulation of well stirred reactors,and now chemical vapor deposition reactors. The user interface to the mathematical software requires that, given an estimate of the dependent variable vector, the user can return the residuals of the governing equations. That is, for arbitrary values of velocity, temperature, and mass fraction, by how much do the left hand sides of Equations (6-10) differ from zero ...

Non-linear parameter estimation is far from a trivial task, even though it is greatly simplified by the availability of user-friendly program packages such as a) SIMUSOLV (Steiner et al., 1986), b) ESL, c) a set of BASIC programs (supplied with the book of Nash and Walker-Smith, 1987) or d) by mathematical software (MATLAB). ISIM itself does not supply these advanced features, but ISIM programs can easily be translated into other more powerful languages.

A widely used mathematical tool for PCA is SVD which is a standard method implemented in many mathematical software packages (see also Appendix A.2.7). According to SVD, any matrix X (size nxm) can be decomposed into a product of three matrices (Figure 3.11). 

Modern mathematical software, such as Mathematica, allows us to compute symbolically the mean square deviation of this approximation from the exact acceleration, integrated over the feasible region, differentiate the resulting expression symbolically with respect to the parameters a and b, set the results to zero and solve the equations symbolically, and simplify the whole lot to find the following remarkably simple expressions... 

Solving Equation (5-22) for the surface temperature, Tj, is most easily done with mathematical software, which can iteratively solve the nonlinear equation. Alternately, the temperature can be iteratively solved via the following method ... 

A survey of computer use in university courses has been carried out by Miles and Francis 149). Due to poor response rate of a Web-based questionnaire, the findings were skewed toward those faculty members who were using computers in their course. The most widely used application among the respondents was the spreadsheet, while the use of molecular modeling, and symbolic mathematics software lagged behind. The authors recommended that teachers should develop more computer-based activities, exploit fully the Web resources, and transfer effectively technical skills. They also provided a list of relevant Web sites, but in the time elapsed since that publication, the currently available Web material must be greatly enhanced, both in terms of number of materials available and in terms of quality of content.

Note The tedium of completing such exercises, as well as following many derivations in this book, is reduced by the use of symbolic mathematical software. We recommend that students gain a working familiarity with at least one package such as Mathematica , MATLAB , Mathcad , or the public-domain package MAXIMA. 

It follows that the functions in the left-hand column of the preceding table are the integrals of the functions in the right-hand column. More formally, they are the indefinite integrals of the function, in contrast to the definite integrals described next. Tables of indefinite integrals in reference books may be consulted for more complex examples, or mathematical software can be used to evaluate them.

Elaboration of a new mathematical software for the kinetic steady- and non-steady-state experiments in particular, the reliable provision for the primary interpretation of kinetic data, new methods (program-adaptive and completely adaptive) of performing informative steady-state kinetic experiments and radically new methods of carrying non-steady-state experiments oriented for the establishment of reaction mechanisms. Finally, it is the development of complex methods involving a combination of kinetic and physical (adsorptive, isotopic, spectroscopic) studies.
