Overview
Principles of Chemistry uses a mastery-learning paradigm designed to bring students to a excellent grasp of concepts and skills. The author's conversational style is a favorite with students, and combined with a special skill for lucidity and detail, this text is what has been sorely missing from education. Students also appreciate the smaller profile and lighter weight of our books--something everyone notices immediately. This is possible because of the text covers an amount that can reasonably be covered in one year, rather than being stuffed with unnecessary chapters. The history of modern chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout to effect the integration of chemistry with other subjects. Integration preserves a course from feeling compartmentalized and not relevant to other subjects. That's certainly not how the real world is. Real chemists use math and writing skills, and their field is greatly enhanced by their knowledge of the lineage of great scientists upon whose shoulders they stand. All Centripetal Press texts are rigorously reviewed and vetted by professional scientists. This text is recommended for students with a minimum math competency of Algebra II due to the appearance of logarithmic calculation when learning about pH values. Otherwise, math skills only involve basic formula solutions. Companion Resources for General Chemistry Principles of Chemistry: Solutions Manual for worked-out answers to all calculation problems. Principles of Chemistry: Resource CD includes chapter tests, answer keys and other resources. Chemistry Experiments for High School Students contains complete instructions and materials lists for 20 experiments. Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home for environments that do not have access to a laboratory. The Student Lab Report Handbook, a concise guide to writing premier lab reports for high school and undergraduate studies.
