This site collects information on advanced mathematics used in the graduate program of nuclear chemical engineering. The goal is to provide guidance for graduate students preparing for the Ph.D. written qualifying exam in the nuclear engineering option.

This repository uses Jupyter Notebooks and future examples will use the Python programming language when necessary. The content can be accessed in the following ways:

• Static HTML version of the notebooks will be displayed on the current browser if a notebook file listed in the code repository, notebook/ is clicked on. This will not allow for rendering mathematical formulae. Alternatively you can render the notebooks on NBViewer by clicking on the badge above.
• Click on the launch/binder badge above to launch a Jupyter Notebook server for the notebooks. There will be a delay for the Binder cloud server to build a Python (Anaconda) programming environment for you. However once it is done, it will start a Jupyter Notebook server on your web browser with all notebooks listed. Upon clicking on individual notebook files, you will access the live notebooks.
• Use the green download button above on the right upper side of the page and download a ZIP archive to your local machine. Unzip the archive. Then use your own Jupyter Notebook server to navigate to the directory created by the unzip operation and upload the notebook files. In this case the files will not be updated and you will need to return to the repository for getting new files or updated versions of previously downloaded files.

This repository is in development. Please email me with questions.
