Welcome to the Companion CD for Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fourth

Edition
(ISBN: 0-13-047394-4), by H. Scott Fogler and M. Nihat Gurmen. Copyright 2006 by

This CD-ROM is a companion to the book Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering,

4th
Edition, by H. Scott Fogler. It contains web browser-driven content intended to
supplement the information in the book. We suggest that you use the latest version
of
Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Communicator to view the contents of this CD.

A Warning to Macintosh Users:

The majority of the files on the CD-ROM are HTML files. Great care was taken in
trying to
ensure that these files would work on both PCs and Macs. However, many of the non-
HTML
files on the CD-ROM are Windows/DOS-based programs, for which there are
(unfortunately) no
Macintosh equivalents. You may still use these files, if you have a PC emulator
program
on your Mac, such as Virtual PC.

Here is a partial list of the Windows/DOS-based programs: Polymath, all of the

Interactive
Computer Modules, and most of the plug-ins included on the CD.
