WILEY PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY For JEE (Main & Advanced)
Vipul MehtaPREFACE:
Wiley Physical Chemistry for JEE (Main & Advanced) is a comprehensive text for understanding Physical Chemistry with focus on development of problem-solving skill. The purpose of adaptation of this book is to make the learning experience more complete and help students develop a thought process about a given concept and build an aptitude to apply the same to solve a problem. The adaptation adds the distilled teaching expertise of the author to the original text, supplementing it with additional concepts and solved problems at appropriate places based on his experience of learning pattern of the students and obstacles in their learning curve.
A compelling reason for any author to write a book (especially when the author is a teacher too) is to help the student learn using the book without the assistance of a teacher. It has been an enriching journey so far, learning at different levels, as a student, as a teacher and now as an adapting author of this book.
Competitive examinations like the JEE (Main and Advanced) have a knack of testing the fundamental concepts. Thus, a student should learn to solve every question with the most basic and logical approach. There is no substitute for hard work, and thus, a variety of problems are given to master the concepts for the students. At this juncture, I would also like to emphasize the value of discipline when following this book.
This book contains the following key features:
(a) A detailed, relevant, lucid and up to date coverage of the concepts as per the JEE curriculum. Figures, graphs, schematic representations, molecular representations and tables have been suitably inserted to help the student familiarize and understand the practical application of the concepts.
