This textbook covers the fundamentals of physical chemistry explaining the concepts in an
accessible way and guiding the readers in a step-by-step manner. The contents are broadly
divided into two sections: the classical physico-chemical topics (thermodynamics kinetics
electrochemistry transport and catalysis) and the fabric of matter and its interactions with
radiation. Particular care has been taken in the presentation of the algebraic parts of
physico-chemical concepts so that the readers can easily follow the explanations and re-work
relevant discussion and derivations with pen and paper. The book is accompanied by a rich
mathematical appendix. Each chapter includes a selection of (numerical) exercises and problems
so that students can practice and apply the learned topics. An appendix with solutions allows
for controlling the learning success. Carefully prepared illustrative color images make this
book a great support for teaching physical chemistry to undergraduate students.This textbook
mainly addresses undergraduate students in life sciences biochemistry or engineering offering
them a comprehensive and comprehensible introduction for their studies of physical chemistry.
It will also appeal to undergraduate chemistry students as an accessible introduction for their
physical chemistry studies.
