A Life Scientist's Guide to Physical Chemistry by Marc R Roussel
Using only the most straightforward and relevant mathematical tools, this textbook demonstrates how the tools of physical chemistry can be used to illuminate biological questions. It includes more than 350 exercises, along with worked examples and problems at the end of each chapter to encourage active and continuous study.
'The author has intentionally reduced the amount of mathematics, while introducing some necessary mathematical concepts with a 'just-in-time' approach … One unique feature is the incorporation of exercises throughout the text, rather than just at the end of each chapter … This is a very appealing format; as instructors, we are often asked by students which problems they should practice if they are having trouble with particular concepts, and the approach of this text makes this very clear … the author writes in an informal and approachable voice that students will find appealing' Surita R. Bhatia, Quarterly Review of Biology
'Professor Roussel has produced a fantastic book for those interested in learning about physical chemistry. Although it is aimed at students of the life sciences, anyone can benefit from his clear explanations and worked examples. His writing style is very conversational, which makes reading the text a pleasure. The choices of problems are relevant and interesting, as are the suggested readings. I highly recommend this book to anyone who plans on teaching a course in physical chemistry for biochemists and molecular biologists.' Michael S. Sommer, University of Wyoming
'Although conversational in style … this is a rigorous, authoritative and yet remarkably up-to-date piece of work. It will be particularly enticing for biochemistry and molecular biology students, and seems destined to go through many more editions in future.' Dr Bernard Dixon OBE, The Biologist
'Roussel's text would be very well suited for our one-semester physical chemistry for life sciences course.' Jochen Autschbach, State University of New York, Buffalo
