Book Chemistry Made Easy is intended for use in beginning chemistry courses that have no chemistry prerequisite. It was written for students who want to prepare themselves for general college chemistry, for students seeking to satisfy a science requirement for graduation, and for students in health-related or other programs that require a one-semester introduction to general chemistry. No matter what your student’s goals are, this book will help them to learn the basics of chemistry. The ultimate goal of making it easier for you to give your students a coherent understanding of chemistry, a positive attitude toward chemistry, and a solid foundation on which to build, should they decide to continue their chemistry studies.
