Publisher's Synopsis
The authors recognize that both science and mathematics may be daunting subjects for many students taking this course. With this in mind, they have anticipated where students might stumble, and have paced and organized this text to help them through. Their goal is to make the material interesting and relevant, so students understand the basic chemical principles related to their career. The authors emphasize problem solving and provide a range of practice exercises. As in previous editions, the text first presents the basic concepts of general chemistry and then moves into organic and biochemistry. In this edition, the first two sections have been revised primarily to improve explanations, and include new pedagogical features. The biochemistry portion has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of many recent developments and emerging technologies in the field.
