Book Reviews of Chemical Principles
Book Review: How afwful can a book get?
Summary: 2 Stars
Without a doubt, Zumdahl is the worst chemistry book I have ever used. He tries to use a watered down version of calculus to explain concepts that really end up becoming meaningless. Thermodynamics in Zumdahl is nothing more than a set of arbitrary conventions he constantly changes. I used this book for the intensive chemistry course at Columbia University last year, and ended up buying a copy of Mahan's "University Chemistry" from the 60's to actually learn the material. While Zumdahl rambles for chapters to explain a acid-base equilibrium, Mahan does so a few pages, with clear equations and reasoning. The only reason I give it two stars is because the challenge problems are actually challenging, and the solution manual is good to use in coordination with the book. But for anyone actually wanting to learn chemistry, use Mahan or really anything published before 1990.
Summary of Chemical Principles
Known for helping students develop the qualitative, conceptual foundation that gets them thinking like chemists, this market-leading text is designed for students with solid mathematical preparation and prior exposure to chemistry. The unique organization of the text supports this qualitative-to-quantitative approach. A strong emphasis on models and everyday applications of chemistry combines with a thoughtful, step-by-step problem solving approach to build conceptual understanding.GMAT Books
