Abstract

Mathcad (1) is a comprehensive, inexpensive program for doing numeric and symbolic mathematics. Available for both Windows and Mac OS, Mathcad has an appealing, user-friendly, graphical interface. It has a wide variety of applications in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, but is especially useful in the mathematically intensive courses traditionally found in the physical chemistry sequence (2-5). Previous publications by the author presented applications of Mathcad in the area of quantum mechanics (6-8). The collection of documents presented here use Mathcad to solve problems in group theory.
