SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of calculus in chemistry, particularly in Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Participants highlight the significance of calculus in analyzing dose-response curves in pharmacology, emphasizing its role in calculating the area under the curve and slope interpretations. Additionally, the importance of applied statistics in chemistry is noted, as it often utilizes calculus for probability calculations. Overall, calculus is established as a fundamental tool in various chemical analyses.

Hi, I am a junior, and I am currently working on a research paper on usage of calculus in chemistry.
It is hard to find good sources, so can you guys recommend me some good sites to look at?
Thanks.

Perhaps try posting this in the chemistry section (if you haven't don so already).
I know next to nothing about chemistry but I've used calculus in first and second year courses in Inorganic Chemistry. Physical Chemistry seems to have a lot of math involved.
There are also things in related fields like pharmacology, such as dose response curves, that use calculus to calculate things like area under the curve and the slope of the curve which have important (and basic) interpretations in the field.

Statistics is also a field that most, if not all, scientists must know a little about. Perhaps try looking at applied statistics in chemistry - calculus is used very often in these fields to calculate probabilities, etc.
