Physical Chemistry @ UWindsor

Attention students taking 59-240 and 59-241 in the 2011-2012 school year: We are supporting the 7th and 8th editions of Physical Chemistry by P.W. Atkins. The 8th edition will be available for sale in the bookstore.

Any of these editions is an excellent investment, as they can be used for the following courses: 59-240, 59-241, 59-340 (along with McQuarrie's Quantum Chemistry) and 59-341, as well as for some advanced level courses.
