Homework, developing understanding

The material is presented in a manner that facilitates sequential development of understanding and expertise either in a course or in self-study. Illustrative examples are interspersed throughout the text to show how the principles described are applied to common impedance problems. These examples are in the form of questions, followed by the solution to the question posed. The student can attempt to solve the problem before reading how the problem is solved. Homework problems, suitable either for self-study or for study under direction of an instructor, are developed for each chapter. Important equations and relations are collected in tables, which can be easily accessed. Important concepts are identified and set aside at the bottom of pages as they appear in the text. Readily identifiable icons are used to distinguish examples and important concepts. 

ChemWork is a homework system we, Steven and Snsan Zumdahl, developed. It is different from the end-of-chapter homework provided in the text and online. These problems are designed to use as a standalone learning system in one of two ways students can learn the problem solving process (while doing actual homework problems) or as a capstone assignment to determine whether they understand how to solve problems (perhaps in final preparation for an exam).
