Molecular and Atomic Spectroscopy
Thomas Wenzel · Bates College
A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the areas of molecular and atomic spectroscopy is provided. Chapters on basics of spectrophotometry, ultraviolet/visible absorption, molecular fluorescence, infrared, Raman and atomic spectroscopy are included. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use as out-of-class exercises.

Chemistry: Physical Principles
LibreTexts
Chemistry: Physical Principles, the textbook for CHM 135H, lays the foundation for understanding how the world works at the molecular level. Covering topics from gases and energy to chemical reactions and electrochemistry, it explores how atomic and molecular behaviour shapes everyday life and impacts all areas of science. It also helps develop the skills needed to solve chemical problems quantitatively, interpret results critically, and connect chemistry to real-world challenges.

Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis
Tharmalingam Punniyamurthy · Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis the synthesis of compound that favors the formation of a specific enantiomer or diastereomer via catalysis synthetic methods. Enantioselective synthesis is a key process in modern chemistry and is particularly important in the field of pharmaceuticals, as the different enantiomers or diastereomers of a molecule often have different biological activity.

Calculus Made Easy
Silvanus P. Thompson · City and Guilds Technical College
Calculus Made Easy is a book on infinitesimal calculus originally published in 1910 by Silvanus P. Thompson, considered a classic and elegant introduction to the subject. Calculus Made Easy ignores the use of limits with its epsilon-delta definition, replacing it with a method of approximating (to arbitrary precision) directly to the correct answer in the infinitesimal spirit of Leibniz, now formally justified in modern nonstandard analysis and smooth infinitesimal analysis.
