Mathematical Methods of Chemical Engineering

Homework, Exams and Solutions


Homework problem sets will be e-mailed to the class d-list. The same problem set may also be accessed and printed out in Word or pdf format from this web page. All solutions will be available as Word or PDF files on the day that they are due (posted after class). Some of the solutions that are conducive or required to be done in MathCad or Excel may be downloadable in that form.
