Description
This text is designed for a one-semester introductory chemistry course for students with little or no background in science and math and who plan to continue with the regular course in general chemistry. Wink (University of Illinois) emphasizes problem solving, mathematics, and scientific reasoning, with sections on characterizing chemical substances and reactions, chemical quantities, and chemical systems. The organization of the text allows students to experience some success with analyzing chemical formulas and predicting products of reactions before concentrating on more quantitative topics.

Students can't do chemistry if they can't do the math. The Practice of Chemistry, First Edition is the only preparatory chemistry text to offer students targeted consistent mathematical support to make sure they understand how to use math (especially algebra) in chemical problem solving. The book's unique focus on actual chemical practice, extensive study tools, and integrated media, makes The Practice of Chemistry the most effective way to prepare students for the standard general chemistry course--and bright futures as science majors.
