[PDF] Fundamentals of Physical Chemistry for Competitive Examinations by Ananya Ganguly

Fundamentals of Physical Chemistry for Competitive Examinations, 2nd Edition by Ananya Ganguly :: Overview: In recent years, the question format of non-medical examinations like HT-JEE and AIEEE has been restructured with greater emphasis on the theoretical and conceptual intricacies and the application of the underlying basic concepts and principles. The poor performance of students in these examinations is partly due to non-availability of a comprehensive text book which lays adequate stress on the authentic logical theoretical concept building, numericals and related problems. The present book grew out of my experience of classroom teaching through lectures, notes and assignments. Effort has been made to maintain lucid style and simplicity of expression. Apart from this, the book has numerous carefully selected examples and solved illustrations which include almost all the previous years’ questions asked in IIT-JEE and AIEEE examinations.

Selected questions of different formats keeping in mind the recent pattern of examinations have been listed at the end of each chapter. Solutions to almost all advanced questions have been incorporated. I would like to thank Showick Thorpe and Sanjay Sharma for their constant encouragement during the publication of this book. I extend my thanks to Nitkiran Bedi for her contribution in bringing out this book in record time. I am also thankful to the staff members of my academy for their sincere help. I will appreciate comments, suggestions and criticism from the readers and will incorporate them in the subsequent editions.
