Product Description

This undergraduate textbook by Horia Metiu presents a comprehensive and accessible approach to Physical Chemistry, forming part of a four-volume series that covers the fundamental aspects of the discipline. Published by Taylor & Francis, this volume combines clear theoretical and mathematical explanations with practical examples and applications drawn from current industrial and academic research.

Metiu’s unique methodology incorporates computer-assisted problem-solving using real experimental data, enabling students to compare theoretical models with laboratory results. This integration provides a robust foundation for students aspiring to become practicing chemists and engineers.

The series is organized into four flexible volumes covering Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Kinetics, and Quantum Mechanics, allowing educators and students to approach the subject in any order that suits their curriculum. Each volume comes with supplementary Mathematics and Mathcad workbooks on CD-ROM, enriching the educational experience for those familiar with these computational tools.

While the textbooks can be used independently of a computer, the inclusion of software enhances learning and problem-solving capabilities. Additionally, exercises can be tackled using accessible tools such as the TI-89 scientific calculator.

Ideal for undergraduate courses, this volume offers a balanced blend of rigorous theory and real-world application, preparing students for advanced study and professional practice in physical chemistry.
