Here’s a draft for an engaging blog-style or social media post about Mathematical Methods for Students of Physics and Related Fields by Donald A. McQuarrie (often referred to in chemistry circles as “the math book for physical chemists”).
My favorite part: The chapter on Fourier series doesn’t start with abstract convergence theorems. It starts with the heat equation in a metal bar, then gently moves to the quantum mechanical free particle. By the end, you understand why chemists care about Fourier transforms in IR spectroscopy and NMR. mathematics for physical chemistry donald a. mcquarrie
