4.0 out of 5 stars Solutions Manual for Simon and McQuarrie, February 8, 2004

By	Eric O'Brien (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

Heather Cox is the wo-man. All of the problems are worked out in the goriest of detail, leaving nothing to the imagination. Not only are the problems fully worked, but additional justification and reasoning is given, making this a great supplement to the main text, especially in courses where the professor assigns a significant amount of book problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saved my butt, December 16, 2004

By	Kenneth Knott - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not much a a pchem student.. passed by the skin of my teeth.. I frankly don't know how I would possibly have solved any of the homework problems without this book to get me start and help me through the tough spots. This book was a lifesaver.

However, I encourage you to use it as an aid... I fell into the trap on the first test of relying to heavily on it and paid for it test time...

If you use the text, you'd better buy this unless your a genius...

There are a few errors here and there accounting for the 4. These can cause you lots of wasted head scratching when your trying to figure out why you can reproduce the answers. Thankfully these are few and far between.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Few Errors, But ESSENTIAL!, December 11, 2007

By	David Smith "doctorjn" (Richmond, VA. USA) - See all my reviews

If you're using the McQuarrie textbook, let me first say I'm very sorry to hear that. However, one thing you can do to make your life a little better is to get a hold of this solutions manual. I would say having this manual is a MUST if you want to do anywhere near decent in a p-chem class using the McQuarrie book.
The solutions manual has worked solutions to all problems - not just even or just odd problems. Another nice feature is that it also restates the problem in the solutions manual. This may not sound like big deal, but when you see the the size of the McQuarrie textbook (thicker than a phone book!) you get tired of lugging the book and solutions manual around. So if you have a quick homework assignment to turn in and want to take the easy way out ;) you can just use the solutions manual only and not even bring the textbook to wherever you're going.
