Essential Algebra for Chemistry Students
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This textbook focuses on the algebra skills needed to survive in general chemistry, with worked examples showing how these skills translate into successful chemical problem solving. It's an ideal tool for students who lack the confidence or competency in the essential algebra skills required for general chemistry. This new second edition includes references to OWL, our web-based tutorial program, offering students access to online algebra skills exercises.
