Julia Burdge – författare

Julia Burdge wanted to create a general chemistry text that grew out of her concern for the interest for both students and faculty. Using her many years of teaching general chemistry, she developed a distinct perspective and approach on addressing common problems and misunderstanding that student encounter while learning the fundamental concepts of chemistry, and that professors encounter while teaching them. She addresses many of these issues while conveying the wonder and possibilities that chemistry offers. Her text balances the necessary fundamental concepts with engaging real-life examples and applications and uses a consistent, step-by-step problem-solving approach.

Julia Burdge's Chemistry: Atoms First provides a consistentand logical method for teaching general chemistry. Theatoms first approach starts with the fundamental buildingblock of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone tounderstanding more complex chemistry topics. Once masteryof the nature of atoms and electrons is achieved, theformation and properties of compounds are developed. Onlyafter the study of matter and the atom will students havesufficient background to fully engage in topics such asstoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics.Revisions throughout the text to align the data to the ALEKSdata values strengthen its integration with ALEKS.ALEKS features Personalized Learning, Custom QuestionAuthoring, Video Assignments, Virtual Labs, and more!
