Elements of Physical Chemistry, Fifth Edition
© 2009 by Peter Atkins and Julio de Paula
We pay particular attention to the needs of the student, and provide many pedagogical features to make the learning process more enjoyable and effective. This section reviews these features. Paramount among them, though, is something that pervades the entire text: we try throughout to interpret the mathematical expressions,for mathematics is a language, and it is crucially important to be able to recognize what it is seeking to convey. We pay particular attention to the level at which we introduce information, the possibility of progressively deepening one’s understanding, and providing background information to support the development in the text. We are also very alert to the demands associated with problem solving, and provide a variety of helpful procedures.
