Product Review
"It is a superb book, to be greatly appreciated and treasured by generations of students to come." -- Richard Zare, Stanford University
"an excellent modern physical chemistry course that should inspire us to rethink our curriculum." -- Journal of Chemical Education
"pedagogically pleasing, as it builds up physical chemistry from considerations of atoms to systems containing numerous molecules." -- Choice
Product Description
As the first modern physical chemistry textbook to cover quantum mechanics before thermodynamics and kinetics, this book provides a contemporary approach to the study of physical chemistry. By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built. The text includes a special set of "MathChapters" to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules. This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples.
