Chemistry is widely considered to be the central science: it
encompasses concepts from which other branches of science are
developed. Yet, for many students entering university, gaining a
firm grounding in chemistry is a real challenge. Chemistry(3)
responds to this challenge, providing students with a full
understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry on which
to build later studies. Uniquely amongst the introductory chemistry
texts currently available, Chemistry(3) is written by a team of
chemists to give equal coverage of organic, inorganic and physical
chemistry - coverage that is uniformly authoritative. The approach
to organic chemistry is mechanistic, rather than the old-fashioned
'functional group' approach, to help students achieve a fuller
understanding of the underlying principles. The expertise of the
author team is complemented by two specialists in chemistry
education, who bring to the book a wealth of experience of teaching
chemistry in a way that students enjoy and understand, and who
understand the challenges of the transition from school to
university. The result is a text that builds on what students know
already from school and tackles their misunderstandings and
misconceptions, thereby providing a seamless transition from school
to undergraduate study. The authors achieve unrivalled
accessibility through the provision of carefully-worded
explanations and reminders of students' existing knowledge; the
introduction of concepts in a logical and progressive manner; and
the use of annotated diagrams and step-by-step worked examples.
Students are encouraged to engage with the text and appreciate the
central role that chemistry plays in our lives through the unique
use of real-world context and photographs. Chemistry(3) tackles
head-on two issues pervading chemistry education: students'
mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a
single, unified discipline. Instead of avoiding the maths,
Chemistry(3) provides structured support, in the form of careful
explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step-by-step
calculations in worked examples, and a Maths Toolkit, to help
students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of
chemistry. Frequent cross-references highlight the connections
between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship
between the topics, so students can develop an understanding of the
subject as a whole.
