Addressing a challenging concept in undergraduate chemistry, each book in the Chemistry Student Guides series aims for the reader to achieve a ‘light bulb’ moment. Once a concept is understood, the reader will no longer need to use rote memorisation techniques, but instead will have the confidence to see how the learning can be applied across a range of problems, in order to obtain the correct answers.
Each book received student input so it targets exactly where students struggle. Essential student involvement, combined with high editorial engagement from the Board, means that each title is closely tuned to audience needs. The books can be used as a supplement or alternative to core textbooks, and will also work well as a revision tool during exam time.
Titles in the series:
1: Introduction to Stereochemistry
2: Introduction to Contextual Maths in Chemistry
How to obtain future titles on publication:
A standing order plan is available for this series. A standing order will bring delivery of each new volume immediately on publication.
