NEW from W.H. Freeman & Company, Explorations in Physical Chemistry is a CD-ROM consisting of 75 interactive Mathcad® worksheets. It motivates students to simulate physical, chemical, and biochemical phenomena with a personal computer. Harnessing the computational power of Mathcad® by Mathsoft, Inc., students can manipulate graphics, alter simulation parameters and solve equations to gain deeper insight into Physical Chemistry. Complete with thought-stimulating exercises, Explorations in Physical Chemistry is a perfect addition to any Mathcad® enabled Physical Chemistry course, using any Physical Chemistry text book.

Explorations in Physical Chemistry covers:

• Thermodynamics, including applications to biological processes.
• Quantum chemistry, including interactive three-dimensional renderings of atomic and molecular orbitals.
• Atomic and molecular spectroscopy, including tutorials on Fourier-transform techniques in modern spectroscopy.
• Properties of materials, including metals, polymers and biological macromolecules.
• Chemical kinetics and dynamics, including enzyme catalysis, oscillating reactions, and polymerization reactions.

System Requirements:
You must have Mathcad® 8 for Windows or higher installed to utilize the worksheets.
