Автор:Gordon G. Hammes Год: 2000 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 176 ISBN: 9780471374916 Gain a working knowledge of thermodynamics and kinetics with a minimum of mathematics–a guide for individuals in the biological sciences An understanding of thermodynamics and kinetics is essential for researchers investigating molecular phenomena in diverse disciplines, including bioorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biology. The use of these physical chemistry tools in the biological sciences has exploded over the past fifteen years, but the majority of works on thermodynamics and kinetics require mathematical expertise beyond that of many researchers in the field. Presenting a highly accessible introduction to thermodynamics and kinetics, Thermodynamics and Kinetics for the Biological Sciences employs a minimum of mathematics, assuming only a basic calculus background, while treating a wide range of topics in a logical and easy–to–follow style. All principles and concepts are clearly illustrated through the use of relevant...
