Wanting in some key areas
It's an OK book; it has good diagrams, and it's well-written. However, it has some major problems in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 that I covered: 1.

It's an OK book; it has good diagrams, and it's well-written. However, it has some major problems in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 that I covered:
1. The examples provided in the chapter are not terribly wonderful. 2. The problems at the end of each chapter can be poorly worded with respect to mathematical soundness (I found myself coming up with two answers to a problem due to ambiguity). 3. Many mathematical steps are skipped in derivations.

looking for a decent physical chemistry book?,
By A.Reader1 (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Physical Chemistry (Hardcover)
The one you want is Physical Chemistry, 4/e by Laidler, Meiser, Sanctuary, ISBN 061815292X. It's the most student friendly text on the market.
Description on their website says "With its clear explanations and practical pedagogy, Physical Chemistry is less intimidating to students than other texts, without sacrificing the mathematical rigor and comprehensiveness necessary for a junior-level physical chemistry course. The text's long-standing reputation for accessible writing provides clear instruction and superior problem-solving support for students." I second that. see my review here Physical Chemistry. I mention the alternatives as well. |
