Through lively narrative and meticulous explanations of mathematical derivations, Physical Chemistry: Quantum Chemistry and Molecular Interactions engages students while fostering a sincere appreciation for the interrelationship between the theoretical and mathematical reasoning that underlies the study of physical chemistry. The author’s engaging presentation style and careful explanations make even the most sophisticated concepts and mathematical details clear and comprehensible. Flexible organization accommodates the content needs and teaching styles of each semester\/quarter sequence. Separation of Quantum Chemistry and Thermodynamics into distinct volumes provides the utmost in flexibility, allowing instructors to lead with their choice of Quantum-first or Thermo-first coverage. For students in need of a review at the start of the term\/quarter, Chapter A: “Tools of Math and Physics” summarizes the prerequisite mathematics and physics assumed by the rest of the text. While the text reminds the student of specific equations from basic math and physics as needed, Chapter A underscores the fundamental nature of the course material by presenting at the outset the essential math and physics principles from which we construct chemical theory. Reflective of popular lecture strategies, chapter opening and closing features ground each topic within the larger framework of physical chemistry and help students stay oriented as they deepen their understanding. Opening features including a “Visual Roadmap” and “Context: Where Are We Now” show readers where they are within the text and relative to other physical chemistry topics. “Goal: Why Are We Here?” and “Learning Objectives” features prepare students for the work ahead and outline the skills students should expect to acquire from their study of the chapter. The concluding “Where Do We Go From Here” section at the end of each chapter reinforces student orientation and illuminates the intrinsic connection between concepts. .
