Dahm (chemistry, Rowan U.) and Nelson (retired chemistry instructor and science education researcher) present this study guide for chemical calculations aimed at building high technical proficiency in order to more effectively work with new concepts. The first five chapters treat in detail the basics of scientific calculation normally covered in just one or two sections of the introductory chapter in a chemistry textbook. The remaining seventeen chapters discuss types of calculations needed for particular topics in chemistry, pointing out common points of error and suggesting problem-solving strategies. This book is ideal for students who struggle with the limited coverage of mathematical technique in the standard chemistry curriculum. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
