Lecture Notes for Pyrotechnic Chemistry

Lecture Notes for Pyrotechnic Chemistry [ISBN-1-889526-16-9] are the class notes for a three-day course on the Pyrotechnic Chemistry. The Course Notes assume only minimal levels of understanding of Chemistry and Pyrotechnics. Each 8½x11" page contains a pair of photocopy-reduced viewgraphs from the course lectures. The text was revised in February 2005 and contains over 440 viewgraphs that include many illustrations and tables. Each viewgraph of text is intended to be complete enough for the reader to be able to understand the subject being discussed. The cover price is US$90.00. See Order Form for discounts and shipping.
