Physical chemistry

by Horia Metiu

"This is the first undergraduate physical chemistry textbook to take full advantage of using the computer to illustrate calculations and show the connections between theory and practice. These four volumes combine a clear and thorough presentation of physical chemistry with examples and applications drawn from current industrial and academic research. Separate paperbacks allow flexibility in coverage." "By using the computer to solve problems that include experimental data, the author is able to present the subject matter at a practical level without oversimplifying. This provides a realistic grounding for future practicing chemists and engineers." "Physical Chemistry includes Mathematica' and Mathcad Workbooks on CD-ROM. These computer programs solve problems presented in the text, summarize the theory used, and display the calculations involved. Written in an engaging, informal style, the author's step-by-step explanation of the calculations in the text ensures that all volumes can also be used without a computer."--Jacket.
