Physical Chemistry: Multidisciplinary Applications in Society

Physical Chemistry: Multidisciplinary Applications demonstrates the many ways in which the core concepts of physical chemistry impact other areas of study, including life sciences, environmental sciences, geosciences, cosmology, information content, and philosophy. The applications from these diverse fields illustrate methods that can be used to model physical processes, design new products, find solutions to challenging problems, and become more competitive in a dynamic employment market.
