Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences, Hardcover by Chang, Raymond, ISBN 1891389335, ISBN-13 9781891389337, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Chang's newest text is intended for use in a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of the biosciences. The author emphasizes the understanding of physical concepts rather than focussing on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required to understand the equations. The extensive array of end of chapter problems have both physicochemical and biological applications, and a detailed Solutions Manual is available.

About this product

Product Information

Chang's newest text has been shortened, streamlined and optimized for a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of biosciences. Most students enrolled in this course have taken general chemistry, organic chemistry, and a year of physics and calculus. Only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations. For premedical students, this text will form the basis for taking courses like physiology in medical school. For those intending to pursue graduate study in biosciences, the material presented here will serve as an introduction to topics in biophysical chemistry courses, where more advanced texts such as those by Gennis, van Holde, and Cantor & Schimmel are used. The author's aim is to emphasize understanding physical concepts rather than focusing on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.

PChem for the Biosciences
Excellent book for undergrad 300 level PChem. Figures, formulas, sample problems, and explanations are easy to understand and the reading is comparable to most biology books. I started the semester using the required book, Basic Chemical Thermodynamics (fifth edition) by E. Brian Smith. Chang was a HUGE improvement.
