Objective:
To provide an abridged student version of the 3rd
edition of the IUPAC Green Book (Quantities, Units and Symbols
in Physical Chemistry) suitable for University teaching, and continuing
education in an industrial context. The book will consist of 40-50
pages, which will be made available both as printed material and via
the web together with appropriate tutorial examples and exercises.
Description:
The project will create a new version of the 3rd Edition of the
Green Book suitable for students and continuing education. The project
aims to offer learning support of the typical contents of physical
chemistry at the University level by restricting the range of topics
covered in the Green Book (3rd Ed), to the main topics that are important
for students, i.e. General Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Spectroscopy
and Basic Physics. The 'light' version will focus on examples of the
best practice in the use of terminology, quantities, units and their
symbols. To determine the best content suitable for teaching purposes
the project will consult with the Committee on Chemistry Education
(CCE) and teaching organizations.
