[Altered State]

Hey.
The next September 9th I start a new course of my Chemistry Degree, and I want to be prepared for my first Physical Chemistry subject. I've only took last years an introductory course of phyisical chemistry, and in order to be able to understand and learn the most and get the higher mark I can, I ask you for advice and recomendations about what should I review before the course starts, o what concepts should I start to understand about the contents I list bellow.  I've just translated it from Spanish, so I'm sorry if there is any mistake.

I'm mostly interest in knowing what should I review/learn about MATHS, becouse that is my weakspot at the moment. I'm also interested about pure physics concepts I need to manage.


Physical-chemistry 1

Quantum Chemistry
1.   Postulates of Quantum Mechanics
2.   Translational Movement: Particle in a box
3.   Vibrational Movement: Harmonic oscillator
4.   Rotational Movement: Rigid rotor
5.   Hydrogenoid Atoms
6.   Approximate methods
7.   Many-electron atoms
8.   Atomic spectroscopy
9.   Chemical bond: The hydrogen molecule ion
10.   Diatomic molecules
11.   Conjugated and aromatic molecules

Statistical Termodynamics
12.   Introduction to statistical termodynamics



Thank you very much, any advice is welcomed, see you.
