Книга: Invitation to Physical Chemistry

This is a unique book with a different aim from other books on the subject. The idea is to provide readers with the big picture first, yet at a level that helps further the study of physical chemistry. The text covers all the important topics in physical chemistry thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, and chemical kinetics staying rigorously close to the basic theory, using appropriate mathematics but avoiding long derivations. Moreover, the book is supplemented by a CD-ROM to make it more comprehensive, interactive and useful for a wider audience. The CD-ROM contains examples, extended discussion, exercises and details of important derivations to reinforce understanding of physical chemistry.
