University Chemistry with Student Access Kit for MasteringGeneralChemistry: United States Edition

Autor Peter E. Siska
en Limba Engleză Mixed media product – 11 dec 2005
Award-winning educator Peter Siska brings years of research and teaching experience to University Chemistry , a new, distinctive honors general chemistry textbook that offers a logical framework of core ideas to give students a solid understanding of chemistry. The book is built on the premise that mastery of a few central ideas will enable students to comprehend and appreciate complex chemical processes.
Modern topics, such as the spectroscopic applications of quantum chemistry, are woven into the text to ignite students' imaginations and give them an appreciation for the experimental nature of the science. Rigorous in its quantitative coverage, University Chemistry helps students think through chemical problems, integrate ideas, and approach chemistry conceptually as well as mathematically.
The book's superior media program draws on the most state-of-the-art animations, simulations, and interactive chemical equations to help students visualize complex chemical processes and master problem-solving techniques.
