Covers all the traditional and modern topics in Physical Chemistry in undergraduate physical 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.
Users: Students
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 highlight 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.
