Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
A particular model for a chemical process is explained in a couple of lectures from the basis to application. As a versatile mathematical tool for physics and chemisty, Fourier transform is introduced. In some part of the lectures, most of time is used for mathematics. Then functions defined in the time-region and frequency region is related.
