Abstract
THE problems selected by the authors are of the standard required for a degree in honours, and are based from the beginning on the use of the calculus. The six sections of the book deal with thermo dynamics, characteristic equations, liquids and solutions, equilibrium, electrochemistry, and the heat theorem. Explanatory introductions are supplied to each section, and the answers to the problems are given at the end of the book. There is also a series of 100 miscellaneous exercises to which no answers are given. The book should prove of real value to those who wish to acquire a mastery of physical chemistry in its numerical aspects, and, in spite of its small size, the price is not excessive in view of the compact character of the contents.
