Basic Physical Chemistry For The Life Sciences

Peter Atkins and Julio de Paula offer a fully integrated approach to the study of physical chemistry and biology.

KEY BENEFIT: Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences presents the core concepts of physical chemistry with mathematical rigor and conceptual clarity, and develops the modern biological applications alongside the physical principles. The traditional presentations of physical chemistry are augmented with material that makes these chemical ideas biologically relevant, applying physical principles to the understanding of the complex problems of 21st century biology. KEY TOPICS: Physical Chemistry, Biology. MARKET: For all readers interested in physical chemistry and biology.

This book provides an introduction to physical chemistry that is directed toward applications to the biological sciences. Advanced mathematics is not required. This book can be used for either a one semester or two semester course, and as a reference volume by students and faculty in the biological sciences.

This solutions manual contains fully-worked solutions to all end-of-chapter discussion questions and exercises featured in 'Physical Chemistry for the Life Sciences.

This book is ideal for use in a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of life sciences. The author's aim is to emphasize the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Subsequently, only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.

The Solutions Manual is a powerful study aid that contains the complete answers to all the exercises in the text. These worked-out solutions guide you through each step, and help you refine your problem-solving skills. Used in conjunction with the text, the Solutions Manual is one of the best ways to develop a fuller appreciation of chemical principles. It can also be used to review material, identify problem areas where more study is needed, and test yourself before an exam. Book jacket.
