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 iPAQ 211 capability (iPAQ 211, iPAQ 211, 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 iPAQ 211 and the desktop PC. You could read half of the book on the iPAQ 211, then finish reading on the desktop. Annotations and drawings are also synchronized.
