Description
Effective problem solving requires conceptual understanding, and developing strong problem solving skills is essential for anyone studying the sciences. This founding principle of the Brady text continues to guide the new Fifth Edition. The authors’ overall goal is to present students with a complete yet accessible text that provides meaningful problem solving guidance and a rich selection of real world examples. In CHEMISTRY 5e, Jim Brady continues to clearly develop concepts and not make broad assumptions about students’ background knowledge. Readers will find the new edition is also more concise and focused on topics most often taught by chemistry teachers.

With the addition of CATALYST mastery assignments to WileyPLUS, students now have the opportunity to develop even stronger problem solving skills and deeper conceptual understanding. CATALYST empowers students to develop the understanding of essential chemistry concepts needed to work problems they may never have seen before (as opposed to mimicking examples). They develop an understanding of how to assemble the information they need to begin more complex problems and employ strategies to move through them. This skill is absolutely critical in chemistry; students must be able to analyze and approach novel problems and work their way through them.
