Application description

Audience:

Intended for everyone interested in Chemistry, particularly undergraduate and graduate science students, medical students, nursing students, physician assistants students, and advanced high school students.

Features:

• Fully illustrated.
• Clear and concise explanations.
• Difficult concepts are explained in simple terms.
• Navigate from Table of Contents or search for words or phrases.
• Multi-Platform Q capability (Q, Q, PC)
• Add Bookmarks
• Text annotation and mark-up
• Access the guide anytime, anywhere - at home, on the train, in the subway.
• Use your down time to prepare for an exam.
• Always have the guide available for a quick reference.
• Automatic synchronization between the Q and the desktop PC. You could read half of the book on the Q, then finish reading on the desktop. Annotations and drawings are also synchronized.
