Notes:
The utility of the basic structures of modern mathematics for chemistry is discussed; general set theory, topology, and group theory are shown to pervade almost all static and dynamic aspects of chemistry. Chemical analogy, the systematic classification of molecules and a corresponding nomenclature system, conformational transformations, polyhedral rearrangements, and the relations between starting materials, transition complexes, and final products of chemical reactions are examples of where we apply the elements of modern mathematics to the solution of chemical problems.
