Would you like to help your students develop the ability to visualize molecules in three dimensions—even to imagine the vibrational motions of molecules? If so, 3DNormalModes is the program for you. And it’s only one of more than 40 excellent, peer-reviewed instructional programs in the latest Advanced Chemistry Collection.
Advanced Chemistry Collection, 4th edition (ACC) 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. 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.The names of the programs included on the CD and the broad range of topics they address are listed on page 1224A. Descriptions of all programs on ACC may be found on the JCE Software Web site. Programs that are new or updated in this 4th edition are described in this abstract. Licensing, Volume Discounts for AdoptionsACC is intended for use by individual students. Institutions and faculty members may adopt Advanced Chemistry Collection 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 OrderingThe price for this CD-ROM 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. An order form is inserted in this issue that also -provides prices and other ordering information. Information about all of our publications (including abstracts, descriptions, updates, etc.) is available from our World Wide Web site at AcknowledgmentsACC 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 RequirementsSystem requirements are in Table 1. Some programs have additional special requirements. For more specific information, see the individual program abstracts at JCE Online or the documentation included on the CD-ROM. Table 1.
