Ever since Physical Chemistry was first published in 1913(then titled Outlines of Theoretical Chemistry, by FrederickGetman), it has remained a highly effective and relevant learningtool thanks to the efforts of physical chemists from all over theworld. Each new edition has benefited from their suggestions andexpert advice. The result of this remarkable tradition is now inyour hands. Now revised and updated, this Fourth Edition of Physical Chemistry by Silbey, Alberty, and Bawendi continuesto present exceptionally clear explanations of concepts andmethods. The basic theory of chemistry is presented from theviewpoint of academic physical chemists, but detailed discussionsof practical applications are integrated throughout. The problemsin the book also skillfully blend theory and applications. Highlights of the Fourth Edition: * A total of 170 computer problems appropriate forMATHEMATICA¯TM,MATHCAD¯TM,MATLAB¯TM, orMAPLE¯TM. * Increased emphasis on the thermodynamics and kinetics ofbiochemical reactions, including the denaturation of proteins andnucleic acids. * Expanded coverage of the uses of statistical mechanics, nuclearmagnetic relaxation, nanoscience, and oscillating chemicalreactions. * Many new tables and figures throughout the text.weiterlesen
