Julia Burdge's Chemistry: Atoms First provides a consistentand logical method for teaching general chemistry. Theatoms first approach starts with the fundamental buildingblock of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone tounderstanding more complex chemistry topics. Once masteryof the nature of atoms and electrons is achieved, theformation and properties of compounds are developed. Onlyafter the study of matter and the atom will students havesufficient background to fully engage in topics such asstoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics.Revisions throughout the text to align the data to the ALEKSdata values strengthen its integration with ALEKS.ALEKS features Personalized Learning, Custom QuestionAuthoring, Video Assignments, Virtual Labs, and more!

Burdge, Julia
Dr. Julia Burdge did most of her undergraduate work at Iowa State University, completing her bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in inorganic chemistry at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She earned her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at the University of Idaho. Her Master’s and doctoral research involved the development of chemotherapeutic analogs of cisplatin and the development of instruments and methods for measuring ultra-trace concentrations of atmospheric sulfur compounds. Over the past 20 years, she has taught introductory and advanced courses in every division of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, as well as interdisciplinary courses. She also developed and taught a new introductory chemistry course for pre-service science teachers, and initiated and served as a mentor in a future faculty development program for graduate students and post-doctoral associates. She is currently affiliated with the University of Idaho.
