	Attention students taking 59-240 and 59-241 in the 2006-2007 school year: We are supporting the 6th, 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 Levine's Quantum Chemistry) and 59-341, as well as for some advanced level courses. Click here to download the Fall 2006 lab manual for 59-240. Consultation slots are now available for the final examination. Click here to see the schedule of times and make a booking.
