AUTHOR Chris McMullen holds a Ph.D. in physics and teaches physics, astronomy, and physical science (including the concepts of chemistry) at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He is highly regarded for his ability to explain science concepts clearly and to get students interested in learning about science. OVERVIEW This book focuses on fundamental chemistry concepts, such as understanding the periodic table of the elements and how chemical bonds are formed. No prior knowledge of chemistry is assumed. The mathematical component involves only basic arithmetic. The content is much more conceptual than mathematical.
AUDIENCE It is geared toward helping anyone - student or not - to understand the main ideas of chemistry. Both students and non-students may find it helpful to be able to focus on understanding the main concepts without the constant emphasis on computations that is generally found in chemistry lectures and textbooks.
CONTENTS
(1) Understanding the organization of the periodic table, including trends and patterns. (2) Understanding ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons. (3) A set of rules to follow to speak the language of chemistry fluently: How to name compounds when different types of compounds follow different naming schemes. (4) Understanding chemical reactions, including how to balance them and a survey of important reactions. (5) Understanding the three phases of matter: properties of matter, amorphous and crystalline solids, ideal gases, liquids, solutions, and acids/bases. (6) Understanding atomic and nuclear structure and how it relates to chemistry. (7) VErBAl ReAcTiONS: A brief fun diversion from science for the verbal side of the brain, using symbols from chemistry's periodic table to make word puzzles.
ANSWERS Every chapter includes self-check exercises to offer practice and help the reader check his or her understanding. 100% of the exercises have answers at the back of the book.
COPYRIGHT Teachers who purchase one copy of this book or borrow one copy of this book from a library may reproduce selected pages for the purpose of teaching chemistry concepts to their own students.
EDITIONS This book is available in paperback in 5.5" x 8.5"(portable size), 8.5" x 11" (large size, ISBN 978-1479201259), and as an eBook. This 5.5" x8.5" edition is the most portable, while the details of the figures -including the periodic tables - are most clear in the large size andlarge print edition (ISBN 978-1479201259). However, the paperback editions are inblack-and-white, whereas the eBook is in color.
Описание: AUTHOR Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in physics from Oklahoma State University and currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He developed the Improve Your Math Fluency series of workbooks to help students become more fluent in basic math skills.
EXAMPLES Each section begins with one page of description of how to solve the problems along with a couple of examples (with numbered steps) to illustrate the technique.
PRACTICE This is a practice workbook geared toward practicing problem-solving skills. As such, it consists of worksheets with practice problems in the spirit of old-fashioned practice sheets. This is suitable for students who need to practice basic skills, and is effective for many students. It is not one of the modern math textbooks that are designed to entertain bored students. Plenty of space is provided for students to write their solutions.
ANSWERS An answer section at the back provides a complete answer key. It's important for students to practice solving problems correctly, otherwise they will practice their mistakes. Students, parents, or teachers should use the answer key to help students check their answers.
CONTENTS This practice book is designed to help students develop proficiency with their long division skills by offering ample practice. This book is conveniently divided up into six parts:
Part 1 reviews division facts with single-digit divisor and quotient since swift knowledge of these is critical toward long division mastery.
Part 2 is limited to single-digit divisors. This way students are not challenged with too much too soon.
Part 3 focuses on double-digit divisors.
Parts 4 and 5 provide practice with remainders.
Part 6 features a variety of multi-digit long division problems with and without remainders.
An introduction describes how parents and teachers can help students make the most of this workbook.
A multiplication table is provided to help students who are just learning their division facts.
SCORING Kids are encouraged to time and score each page. In this way, they can try to have fun improving on their records, which can help lend them confidence in their math skills.
This volume covers motion, including uniform acceleration, vector addition, projectile motion, Newton's laws, conservation of energy, work, collisions, rotation, center of mass, moment of inertia, satellites, and more. (Vol. 2 covers electricity and magnetism, while Vol. 3 covers waves, fluids, heat, sound, and light. Vol.'s 2-3 will be released in the spring of 2017.)

Описание: DESCRIPTION This combination of study guide and workbook covers the following essential topics from modern physics:
special relativity (concepts and mathematics)
blackbody radiation (in-depth coverage)
the photoelectric effect (concepts and equations)
Schr dinger's equation (thorough solutions to the most basic problems: the step potential, barrier potential, and square well)
the Compton effect (including the derivation)
Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (in terms of momentum and also energy)
the de Broglie relation (and related formulas)
Bohr's model of the atom (includes dozens of equations)
LEVEL The student should know derivatives and integrals from a standard calculus course, and should have already studied first-year physics (Newton's laws, conservation of energy, E&M, and waves). Chapter 12 provides a concise review of essential skills from a course on differential equations, and there is a little bit of math with complex numbers (mostly, finding the complex conjugate as it relates to Schr dinger's equation).
FORMAT This study guide workbook focuses on essential concepts, formulas, and problem-solving skills:
Fully-solved examples with explanations show you how to apply standard problem-solving techniques.
Handy charts tabulate the symbols, what they mean, and their SI units.
Problem-solving strategies are broken down into steps and illustrated with examples.
Essential terms and concepts are defined and explained.
Each chapter includes a variety of practice problems. The paperback edition includes space to solve the problems in the workbook.
The full solution to every practice problem can be found at the back of the book.
