Product Description

This new undergraduate textbook by Horia Metiu offers a fresh and practical approach to learning Physical Chemistry. Published as part of a four-volume series, this volume skillfully combines rigorous theoretical and mathematical foundations with real-world examples drawn from both academic research and industrial applications.

Metiu’s innovative method bridges theory with practice, enabling students to solve problems using actual experimental data through computer-aided tools. This integration helps learners not only understand abstract concepts but also compare theoretical models with experimental outcomes, fostering a deeper, hands-on grasp of physical chemistry.

Designed for flexibility, the four volumes—covering thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, kinetics, and quantum mechanics—can be studied independently or in any sequence to suit individual course needs. Supplementary materials, including Mathematics and Mathcad workbooks on CD-ROM, enrich the learning experience, although the textbooks remain fully usable without computer assistance.

Ideal for chemistry and engineering undergraduates, this book encourages the development of practical problem-solving skills using accessible tools like the TI-89 scientific calculator. Whether you are a student looking to strengthen your conceptual knowledge or an educator seeking a comprehensive and adaptable textbook, Horia Metiu’s physical chemistry series provides a modern, relevant foundation for future scientists and engineers
