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.

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.

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.

Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences has been optimized for a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of biosciences.

Hailed by advance reviewers as "a kinder, gentler P. Chem. text," this book meets the needs of an introductory course on physical chemistry, and is an ideal choice for courses geared toward pre-medical and life sciences students. Physical Chemistry for the Chemical and Biological Sciences offers a wealth of applications to biological problems, numerous worked examples and around 1000 chapter-end problems.

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.
