Abstract

The article reviews the third edition of *Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers*, authored by Richard D. Rice, Duong D. Do, and James E. Maneval, highlighting its expanded content and continued value as a teaching resource. The book is structured in two parts: Part I covers fundamental mathematical concepts relevant to chemical engineering, including an expanded focus on matrix algebra and a new chapter on probability and statistical modeling; Part II addresses numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations. The review emphasizes the quality and variety of illustrative examples and exercise problems, as well as comprehensive appendices on nonlinear equations, numerical integration, transforms, and statistical tables. The reviewer notes the absence of computer code examples and suggests their inclusion could enhance practical learning with software tools like MATLAB or Python.
