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 focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purchased for Quantum Chemistry class. Clearly communicates ideas. Easy to read.

Quite possibly one of the best textbooks I have ever used. Each chapter is short an concise and effectively communicates large quantities of information in only a few short pages. I can learn more by spending 2 hours with this textbook than I can from an entire week of attending lecture. Buy this book.

I love the format of this textbook. Although it is a bit unclear and short on some explanations, overall it has very interesting problems to do at the end of each chapter and has lots of clear diagrams.

This textbook really helps clear up some of the concepts I don't quite catch in lecture. It's good to have something to refer back to. If the teacher recommends it for your class, I say get it.
