Focused on the undergraduate audience, with the goal of helping the student to master the course material.
Complete coverage of the fundamentals
Early introduction of heterogeneous catalysis gives students the knowledge they need to solve real chemistry and industrial problems
Graphical techniques help students’ visualization
Approachable writing style with conversational tone
Emphasis on problem-solving
Material on the analysis of kinetic data prepares students for the research required in grad school.
Real chemistry and industrial examples are used in many of the examples and problems, and a brief discussion of the practical significance of each reaction as it is introduced teaches students about industrial chemistry.
In-depth coverage of chemical kinetics presented in an integrated fashion emphasizes the fundamental tools of kinetic analysis, and allows the student to apply these tools to problems in many areas of chemistry and biochemistry.
Emphasis on numerical techniques prepares students for graduate work in reactor design and analysis, which is heavily mathematical in nature.
Independent of specific software package: instructor and student will not have to commit time to mastering a new software program.
