Chemical principles

"Chemical Principles is intended for a full-year general chemistry course for students majoring in any science from agriculture to zoology, including those whose career goals are in the health professions, in engineering, and in the environmental sciences. Our approach does not use calculus, but it does require some familiarity wit simple algebra, including facility with exponents and logarithms. An appendix covering mathematical procedures is included." -excerpt from the Preface Content topics: 1. The Science of Chemistry; 2. The Language of Chemistry; 3. Stoichiometry; 4.
