Physical Chemistry

Más información sobre el libro

This undergraduate textbook series on physical chemistry by Horia Metiu consists of four separate volumes, each presenting a clear and thorough exploration of theoretical and mathematical aspects alongside examples from current industrial and academic research. By utilizing computers to solve problems with actual experimental data, the author effectively grounds the subject matter in practical applications. The integration of theoretical chemistry with industrial and laboratory practices allows students to compare theoretical projections with experimental results, providing a solid foundation for future chemists and engineers. Each volume includes downloadable Mathematica® and Mathcad® Workbooks, enhancing the learning experience. The four volumes—Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Kinetics, and Quantum Mechanics—offer flexibility in the order of study. While the textbooks can be used without a computer, students who learn to read and write Mathematica® or Mathcad® programs will find their experience significantly enriched. Additionally, a TI-89 scientific calculator can be employed to tackle most exercises and problems.
