The main aim of this unique book is to introduce the student to spectroscopy in a clear manner which avoids, as far as possible, the mathematical aspects of the subject. It is thus intended for first or second year undergraduates, particularly those with minimal mathematics qualifications. After explaining the theory behind spectroscopy, the book then goes on to look at the different techniques, such as rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. It encompasses both high resolution (structural) and low resolution (analytical) spectroscopy, demonstrating their close interrelationship. The many worked problems make this book particularly appealing for independent study. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Fills an important gap....clearly written and is pitched at just the right level for under-graduate chemistry students in the early years of their degree studies.An ideal introductory text for undergraduate students, and I hope that many students, and I hope that many students will use it to supplement their existing general text books of physical chemistry. * Angewandte Chemie, International Edition, 2004, 43, 5117-5118 (David Smith) * A useful companion to the undergraduate learning experience. The book will also provide a good recap in the subject for those who want to take their study on to postgraduate level. * Education in Chemistry, September 2004 issue (Matthew Ingram) * "... accessible to the average Advanced level student, and ... will greatly interest students intending to go on and study chemistry at university. * School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003 * "This is an excellent book, and is great value-for-money. I will be prescribing Holla's text for my students. This ends a search for a suitable spectroscopy text, which has lasted several years. I highly recommend the book to you as a class text. It would also be a worthwhile addition to the departmental library or your personal reference library." * Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, No 6, June 2003 *
