Publisher's Synopsis
An introduction to the fundamentals of chemistry, this text is designed to prepare students who wish to pursue a science major requiring a comprehensive course in general chemistry. Students who need help with mathematical manipulations, as well as reading and writing scientific material, should find Goldberg's text a useful learning tool. Key features include: use of real world problems (use of analogies; conceptual problems) to engage students in the topic of study; dimensional analysis integrated as a key element for helping students to translate word problems into algebraic expressions; and various problem-solving methods challenge students to think logically.
