"Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, math and engineering, this book will also become a must-have for the personal library of all advanced students in the physical sciences. Comprised of more than 2000 problems and 700 worked examples that detail every single step, this text is exceptionally well adapted for self study as well as for course use."--From publisher description.

From the reviews: "...This book is a very useful addition to polymer literature, and it is a pleasure to recommend it to the polymer community." (J.E. Mark, University of Cincinnati, POLYMER NEWS)
While most introductions to statistical mechanics are either too mathematical or too physical, Colin Thompson's book combines mathematical rigor with familiar physical materials. Following introductory chapters on kinetic theory, thermodynamics, the Gibbs ensembles, and the thermodynamic limit, later chapters discuss the classical theories of phase transitions, the Ising model, algebraic methods and combinatorial methods for solving the two-dimensional model in zero field, and some applications of the Ising model to biology. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Covers the principles of quantum mechanics and engages those principles in the development of thermodynamics. Coverage includes the properties of gases, the First Law of Thermodynamics, a molecular interpretation of the principal thermodynamic state functions, solutions, non equilibrium thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Features 10-12 worked examples and some 60 problems for each chapter. A separate Solutions Manual is forthcoming in April 1999. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
"Atoms First seems to be the flavor of the year in chemistry textbooks, but many of them seem to be little more than rearrangement of the chapters. It takes a master like McQuarrie to go back to the drawing board and create a logical development from smallest to largest that makes sense to students."---Hal Harris, University of Missouri-St. Louis "McQuarrie's book is extremely well written, the order of topics is logical, and it does a great job with both introductory material and more advanced concepts. Students of all skill levels will be able to learn from this book."---Mark Kearley, Florida State University This new fourth edition of General Chemistry takes an atoms-first approach from b...
The detailed solutions manual accompanies the second edition of McQuarrie's Quantum Chemistry.
A practical, easily accessible guide for bench-top chemists, thisbook focuses on accurately applying computational chemistrytechniques to everyday chemistry problems. Provides nonmathematical explanations of advanced topics incomputational chemistry. Focuses on when and how to apply different computationaltechniques. Addresses computational chemistry connections to biochemicalsystems and polymers. Provides a prioritized list of methods for attacking difficultcomputational chemistry problems, and compares advantages anddisadvantages of various approximation techniques. Describes how the choice of methods of software affectsrequirements for computer memory and processing time.
