Reference

By beginning with quantum chemistry, students will learn the fundamental principles upon which all modern physical chemistry is built.

The text includes a special set of "MathChapters" to review and summarize the mathematical tools required to master the material Thermodynamics is simultaneously taught from a bulk and microscopic viewpoint that enables the student to understand how bulk properties of materials are related to the properties of individual constituent molecules.

This new text includes a variety of modern research topics in physical chemistry as well as hundreds of worked problems and examples..
