CHEMIX is an interactive educational software tool developed by a chemist (and teacher) for students, teachers and chemists. As a stand-alone product it covers a wide range of topics in the field of chemistry.
By the property of interactivity CHEMIX will instantaneously respond to inputs. As an educational tool it will increase the frequency of the repeated process - try and failure - the most common way of learning.
The problems/lessons supplied with this software, are intended and leveled for the first-year university level, many of the lessons are also suitable for high school courses.
The thorough understanding of the physical and chemical principles involved in a problem is essensial in order to apply intelligently the mathematics used in the solution of the problems. Therefore, it is provided to have some basic chemical and physical knowledge before fully taking advantage of CHEMIX teaching and censoric capability.
Our Review: Firstly, anyone considering downloading CHEMIX should be warned - it is aimed at first year university students and anyone below this level will probably find it all extremely confusing as there are no guidelines on how to enter information. CHEMIX has a fairly confusing layout and the only help is an attached readme. Basically CHEMIX is designed to provide information on a huge number of aspects of chemistry (Periodic tables etc) and also provide conversion and equation solving tools.
