The Relationship of Chemistry with Physics and Mathematics

Abstract

The relationship of Chemistry with Mathematics and Physics both are very important because some topics are similar in Chemistry and Physics whereas some problems of Chemistry are solved with the use of Mathematics. Chemistry and Physics are inter-related branches of Science. Both may overlap when the system under study involves matter commonly encounter on earth composed of electron and nuclei made of proton and neutrons. Chemistry and Mathematics are also related to each other because of using Mathematics in Chemistry. For example, Quantum Chemistry is all about solving differential equation, Schrodinger equation describing wave behavior of particle is itself a differential equation. Also in the context of Physical Chemistry, we will need to solve the problems for all sorts of electrical, potential and boundary condition. The concepts of linear algebra are also useful in Chemistry because the behavior and properties in a system can be understood in terms of their Eigen states and Eigen values.
