Introduction to Chemistry

A Conceptual Introduction to Chemistry, 2e" by Bauer/Birk/Marks offers today's student a fresh perspective to the introduction of chemistry. This new textbook offers a conceptual approach to chemistry by starting first with macroscopic phenomena, and then presenting the underlying microscopic detail. Each chapter opens with a real-life scenario that helps students connect abstract chemical concepts to their own lives. The math found in "A Conceptual Introduction to Chemistry, 2e" is introduced on a need-to-know basis, with 'Math Toolboxes' in select chapters to help support the math skills required in that chapter.
