Summary
Beginning with quantum mechanics, introducing statistical mechanics, and progressing through to thermodynamics, this new text for the two-semester physical chemistry course features a wealth of new applications and insights, as well as newMathematical Backgroundinter-chapters to help students review key quantitative concepts."This is a splendid book. True to the authors' philosophy as outlined in the preface, it approaches physical chemistry by first developing the quantum theory of molecular electronic structure, then by statistical arguments moves into thermodynamics, and thence to kinetics."- Peter Taylor, Review inChemistry World(Royal Society of Chemistry), July 31, 2009.
