Are you teaching courses beyond the general-chemistry level? Would you like
your students to take advantage of software designed and peer-reviewed by teachers
such as you? If so, consider adopting the JCE Software Advanced Chemistry
Collection (ACC).
This CD-ROM for Mac OS and Windows contains software that will enhance student
learning in analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry courses, biochemistry
courses, and many others. ACC includes both previously published and new peer-reviewed
software on a single CD-ROM for convenient access by students. The names of the
programs included on the CD and the broad range of topics they address are listed
in Table 1.
Descriptions of all programs on ACC may be found on the JCE
Software Web site. Programs that are new in this 3rd edition are marked
by an asterisk in Table 1 and are also described at the links below. We expect
students will find the programs included in ACC useful tools for learning chemistry
outside the classroom as they progress through the chemistry curriculum.
New Features in This Edition
This 3rd edition of Advanced Chemistry Collection includes all of the contents
of the second edition (1) except Solid State Structures
(2), which has been removed because it requires software
that is no longer available. New programs in the 3rd edition are:
Licensing, Volume Discounts for Adoptions
ACC is intended for use by individual students. Institutions and faculty members
may adopt Advanced Chemistry Collection, 3rd edition as they would a textbook.
We can arrange for CDs to be custom packaged with laboratory manuals or other
course materials or to be sold to students through the campus bookstore. The cost
per CD can be quite low when large numbers are ordered (as little as $3 each),
making this a cost-effective method of providing students access to the software
they need whenever and wherever they desire. Network licenses to distribute the
software to your students via your local campus network can also be arranged.
Contact us for details on purchasing multiple-user licenses.
Price and Ordering
The price for this CD-ROM for Macintosh and Windows for a single user on a
single machine is $35 U.S./$50 non-U.S. Adoption discounts are available
for the purchase of 20 or more CDs. Call or email JCE Software for information
about these bulk order prices.
Prices
and other ordering information and information about all of our publications
(including abstracts, descriptions, updates, etc.) is available at
the JCE Software WWW site.
Acknowledgments
ACC contains the work of many authors. The time and effort of these dedicated
chemistry educators in producing these programs is gratefully acknowledged by
the editors, along with the authors’ generosity in contributing their work
to the chemistry education community by submission to JCE Software. Thanks
are also due the many peer reviewers who volunteered their time to test these
programs, and the thousands of chemistry instructors all over the world who have
made these programs available to their students. Their input has been invaluable
in program development, revisions, and updates.
Hardware and Software Requirements
System requirements are given in Table 2. Some programs have
additional special requirements. Please see the individual program abstracts or
the documentation included on the CD-ROM for more specific information.
