DESCRIPTION:
I really liked the way that Dr. This is a big plus for Dr. Thermodynamics is much more interesting when applied to problems other than adiabatic expansions of ideal gases! I found the writing style to be conversational and very easy to follow." "The strengths of this manuscript are the detail, mathematical level, and development of the text, the number and quality of example problems, and the selection and range of difficulty in the end of chapter problems." . That is a weak point for many students and having the text clearly use this approach is a real plus. I think this would be a positive contribution to a learning environment."
Intended for the year long, calculus-based physical chemistry course for science and engineering majors, PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY follows a traditional organization while concentrating on core topics. Where appropriate, there is some focus on mathematical manipulations, providing students with a review of calculus applications as applied to physical chemistry.. The text does not cover some higher level topics-for example, photochemistry, molecular beams, thermal physics, and polymers- found in some textbooks, and rarely covered in the undergraduate physical chemistry course, but more fully explains the essential elements of the discipline. Written by a dedicated chemical educator and researcher, this text is intended for those students who are trying to learn physical chemistry-a book that works as a textbook and not as an encyclopedia
to all P-chem teachers choose another book My P-chem class uses this book. This list of problems is huge. As a student i'm frustrated with this book, and have the following complaints to present to the public.1) The answer section is full of errors. Of the 20ish problems my professor assignes, about 3-5 depending on the chapter are . "High potential for future editions" according to A Customer. At first glance David Ball's text is excellent and because of this I used it to teach my physical chemistry course last year. It is nicely written and easy to read. As with any first edition there are numerous typos - but these are posted on Ball's web page as they are found. The basic ther. A. Darrington said WorstPchem bookever. Just finished a "WorstPchem bookever" according to A. Darrington. Just finished a 2 sem course in Pchem. Professor assigned this book, but never used it for his lectures, except to make the test questions. I think he purposely chose all of the questions that were worked out wrong, just to frustrate us. He didn't have to look hard to find erroneous questio. sem course in Pchem. Professor assigned this book, but never used it for his lectures, except to make the test questions.

Ball is Professor of Chemistry at Cleveland State University. . He has over 160 publications, equally split between research articles and educational articles, including five books currently in print. His research interests include computational chemistry of new high energy materials, matrix isolation spectroscopy, and various topics in chemical education. David W. He is also very active in the American Chemical Society, ser
