Description
Mastering the fundamentals of physical chemistry is a challenge for many. The new edition of "Elements of Physical Chemistry" is the perfect resource for smoothing the path to a clear and thorough understanding of this vital branch of chemistry. With its emphasis on the physical principles, conveyed through lucid explanations and careful exposition of the essential mathematical concepts, and enhanced by enriched pedagogy and a new two-colour text design, "Elements of Physical Chemistry" is the perfect text for opening up this fascinating subject to more students than ever before Supplementary resources. The companion web site will contain illustrations from book and 'Living Graphs', which give students the ability to alter parameters displayed in the graph and follow the consequences. A solutions manual will provide worked solutions to all the problems in the book. It will be provided free to adopters of the book.
