- Summary:
- Zumdahl and DeCoste's (both U. of Illinois) textbook is designed for accelerated general chemical courses for chemical sciences majors and others requiring a rigorous introductory course. Beginning with the fundamentals and building to advanced topics expected in a course for chemistry majors, the text helps students learn to "think like a chemist." The seventh edition contains a new section, "Conceptual Problem Solving," teaching students to think their way through a problem; students apply this approach to questions in the in-chapter Examples. Also included are revised end-of-chapter questions and problems, new visual problems, chapter-ending key terms lists and outlines, and revised figures. Assumes a solid background in algebra.
