PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY

Principles of Chemistry ,uses a mastery-learning paradigm designed to bring students to a excellent ,grasp of concepts and skills. The author&rsquo,s ,conversational style is a favorite with students, and combined with ,a ,special skill for ,lucidity and detail, this text is what has been sorely missing from education. Students also appreciate the smaller profile and lighter weight of our books&mdash,something everyone notices immediately. This is possible because of the text covers an amount that can reasonably be covered in one year, rather than being stuffed ,with unnecessary chapters. The history of modern chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout to effect the integration of chemistry with other subjects. Integration preserves a course from feeling compartmentalized and not relevant to other subjects. That&rsquo,s certainly not how the real world is. Real chemists use math and writing skills, and their field is greatly enhanced by their knowledge of the lineage of great scientists upon whose shoulders they stand. All Centripetal Press texts are rigorously reviewed and vetted by professional scientists. This text is recommended ,for students with a minimum math competency ,of ,Algebra II due to the appearance of logarithmic calculation when learning about pH values. Otherwise, math skills only involve ,basic formula solutions. Companion Resources for General Chemistry
