A solid basic knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics is necessary for understanding many technical, chemical, and biological processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe one-semester basic lecture course was divided into 12 workshops (chapters). Each chapter covers a practically relevant area of physical chemistry and contains the following didactic elements that make this book particularly exciting and understandable: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Links to Videos at the start of each chapter as preparation for the workshop \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Comprehension questions and calculation exercises with solutions as learning checks \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Key illustrations as simple, easy-to-replicate blackboard pictures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumorous cartoons for each workshop (by Faelis) additionally lighten up the text and facilitate the learning process as a mnemonic. To round out the book, the appendix includes a summary of the most popular experiments in basic physical chemistry courses, as well as suggestions for designing workshops with exhibits, experiments, and \"questions of the day.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for students minoring in chemistry; chemistry majors are sure to find this slimmed-down, didactically valuable book helpful as well.

He studied chemistry, worked in industrial research for several years, and now teaches at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences. He is co-author of several \"big\" physical chemistry textbooks (including a standard work on colloids) and has written several short textbooks for a distance learning chemistry course. His YouTube channel \"Physical Chemistry by SciFox\" was added to YouTube EDU back in 2013. In his spare time he works as a hobby DJ and is active in the furry fandom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45276116877463,"sku":"9783662676363","price":4003.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662676363.webp?v=1769284765","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/physical-chemistry-in-a-nutshell-basics-for-engineers-and-scientists-9783662676363","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
