Theoretical And Physical Chemistry (classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Theoretical and Physical ChemistryThis book is intended for use in such a course and is addressed to students who know a little chemistry. It comprises about all that can be advantageously presented in two or three lectures a week through one year, but it is hoped it may be found useful for shorter courses or collateral reading.An unfortunate impression has got abroad that much mathematics is needed for a comprehension of physical chemistry; unfortunate, as it deters many who want it, and would profit by it, from electing the subject. No attempt has been made to avoid the use of mathe maties, but a perusal of this book will show that ordinary arithmetic and elementary algebra are sufficient, except in five or six demonstra tions. One unfamiliar with the calculus must take it on faith that steps in the derivations of half a dozen formulae are correct, and that is all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
