This course is aimed at high school AP (Advanced Programs) and College courses in phyiscs. You can see the table of contents by clicking the "Contents" tab above is step 2. In addition to the many animaitions, interactions and spoken explanations, the treatments are calculus based.
Developed by a team of international scientists and instructional designers led by Prof. Sanctuary of McGill University, these tutorials have received critical acclaim.
The PhysLINK.com physics resource web site said that "it is the best physics class-room and home study education software I have seen."
Target audience
Covers all the traditional and modern topics in General Physics (Calculus) in
undergraduate science programs.
We encourage sales to
Universities, Institutions and Home Groups by providing Volume Discounts
(found at the bottom of all product pages). These provide even greater savings
over our already low prices, compared to hard copy textbooks.
Users: teachers
With the programs loaded on the teachers laptop, the material can be
projected in class. In addition throughout the text are scattered about 100
multimedia interactions that pop-up. In class, using the Multimedia Table of Contents , these interactions can be
used as demonstrations.
Easy navigation with all sections and subsections linked to the Table of
Contents..
Integrated into The Web with ready links to websites like Wikipedia, Google
search, More Chemistry Help, etc.
In
the flash version, an oular tool allows for important sections of the text to be
highlighted and magnified, with the rest of the text dimmed. This is useful for
students to keep their place while reading and for teachers to emphasize a point
in class.
The
multimedia pop-ups give students a chance to visualize and interact with
programs that demonstrate different concepts.
The
text provides detailed treatment of concepts that students often find
challenging. Most of these are illustrated by worked examples.
eBooks are green and today students have grown
up reading and interacting with computers. Students are not only comfortable
with electronic media, but for ecological reasons alone, eBook must replace hard
copy.

This eTextbook provides many more features than are possible with hard
textbooks, and does this at a much reduced price. Although all the undergraduate
topics in physical chemistry are covered, you may not need to take them all. For
this reason, the textbook is broken into smaller modules that cover specific
topics. This provides an even greater saving.
Easy navigation, convenient hyperlinking and many features that enhance your
ability to find material easily so you can concentrate on learning.
Fully integrated into The Web, with links to Wikipedia, Google, More Chemistry
Help, and other useful on-line resources.
Interesting and informative multimedia components are built into the book and
pop-up when clicked so you can listen to explanations of the material you are
working on, and perform interactions that will help you understand the concepts.
In
the flash version, a reading ocular allows you to magnify and focus on specific
areas of text material. This helps you to keep your place while reading. In
addition there is an underline tool that permits you to highlite text.
Note-taking tool allows you to jot down your thoughts as you go, or to keep
reminders. (Flash version only)
Extensive problems are provided that are an essential part of studying for
Physical Chemistry. A full solution manual is available for free. This solution
manual was written by students for students. It is well known that peer learning
is effective, and therefore the worked-out problems provide a valuable tool for
all those interested in understanding physical chemistry at the required
level.
eBooks save trees.
