BACKGROUND Thermodynamics is an exciting and fascinating subject that deals with energy, and thermodynamics has long been an essential part of engineering curricula all over the world. It has a broad application area ranging from microscopic organisms to common household appliances, transportation vehicles, power generation systems, and even philosophy. This introductory book contains sufficie…
The seventh edition of our textbook continues to emphasize the molecular nature of matter, strong problem solving, and clarity of writing that was the basis of the sixth edition of Chemistry by James E. Brady, Neil D. Jespersen, and Alison Hyslop. The relationship between the molecular level and the observable macroscopic properties of matter is presented in increased detail to reinforce and ex…
WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK Fun with a big challenge. That is how I have regarded physics since the day when Sharon, one of the students in a class I taught as a graduate student, suddenly demanded of me, "What has any of this got to do with my life?" Of course I immediately responded, "Sharon, this has everything to do with your life—this is physics." She asked me for an example. I thought and…
In writing this book, I was guided by my long-standing experience and interest in teaching discrete mathematics. For the student, my purpose was to present material in a precise, readable manner, with the concepts and techniques of discrete mathematics clearly presented and demonstrated. My goal was to show the relevance and practicality of discrete mathematics to students, who are often skepti…
In recent years, the growth of statistics has made itself felt in almost every phase of human activity. Statistics no longer consists merely of the collection of data and their presentation in charts and tables; it is now considered to encompass the science of basing inferences on observed data and the entire problem of making decisions in the face of uncertainty. This covers considerable groun…

This textbook is an introduction to the ideas and techniques of linear algebra for first- or second-year students with a working knowledge of high school algebra. The contents have enough flexibility to present a traditional introduction to the subject, or to allow for a more applied course. Chapters 1-4 contain a one-semester course for beginners whereas Chapters 5-9 contain a second semester …
"IT'S ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!" That's what we want students to exclaim after they become acquainted with our subject. Our lives revolve around organic chemistry, whether we all realize it or not. When we understand organic chemistry, we see how life itself would be impossible without it, how the quality of our lives depends upon it, and how examples of organic chemistry leap out at us from every di…
The twelfth edition continues the tradition by pro¬viding a firm foundation in chemical concepts and principles and to instill in students an appreciation of the vital part chemistry plays in our daily life. It is the responsibility of the textbook authors to assist both in¬structors and their students in their pursuit of this objec¬tive by presenting a broad range of topics in a logical man…
Many kinds of investigations may be characterized in part by the fact that repeated experimentation, under essentially the same conditions, is more or less standard procedure. For instance, in medical research, interest may center on the effect of a drug that is to be administered; or an economist may be concerned with the prices of three specified commodities at various time intervals; or the …
Padahal sesungguhnya dalam mempelajari mikrobiologi, bakteri hanya merupakan salah satu topik dari sekian banyak topik dalam bidang ilmu ini. Topik-topik lainnya yang juga dibicarakan dalam mikrobiologi misalnya jamur.alga, dan protozoa, kecuali virus, karena virus bukan makhluk hidup tetapi hanyalah sebuah struktur berukuran jauh lebih kecil dari bakteri, yang berdiri sendiri di alam tapi di d…
