Product Description

This undergraduate textbook by Horia Metiu offers a fresh and practical approach to learning Physical Chemistry, forming one volume of a comprehensive four-part series. Published by Taylor & Francis, the series combines clear and thorough presentations of theoretical and mathematical concepts with rich examples and applications sourced from current industrial and academic research.

Metiu’s innovative approach integrates computer-assisted problem solving using actual experimental data, bridging the gap between theory and practice. This unique methodology enables students to critically compare theoretical predictions with experimental results, providing a strong foundation for future chemists and engineers.

The four volumes—covering Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Kinetics, and Quantum Mechanics—offer flexible learning options, allowing topics to be studied in any order. Each volume includes Mathematica and Mathcad workbooks on CD-ROM, enriching the learning experience for students familiar with these computational tools. However, the textbooks remain fully functional without a computer, with many exercises solvable using tools such as the TI-89 scientific calculator.

Designed to support both classroom instruction and independent study, this textbook is an essential resource for students aiming to master physical chemistry concepts with practical applications in modern scientific contexts.
