Chemistry For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))

I've taken up to Organic Chem at a university, but have forgotten a lot of chemistry in the past several years. Wanted to go back to the basics as a refresher and this book is simple to read and understand, and is bringing back a lot of that forgotten knowledge I thought I lost. For the things I might've not quite understood, this is simplifying those parts of Chemistry.

I wanted to recall studies of years ago. the book is very well structured easy to follow with the right amount of calculation. Really enjoed

My kid's high school no longer issues take-home textbooks; the physical books stay in class, and students have access to an online version. It's pretty frustrating to use an online textbook for homework or studying, and classroom notes only go so far. This isn't as complete as a real textbook and doesn't cover things as comprehensively as a beginner might need, but it's a decent addendum to other learning resources. This book handled all 3 of my concerns: first, it gives my kid an opportunity to see chemistry concepts and problems explained in a different way than what he got in school; second, it's an easy-to use reference for homework; and last, it serves as a refresher for me (his reluctant tutor who learned Chemistry many years ago). I've used other "Dummies" books in the past, and found them all decent in covering their subjects, same for this edition.

Great

I walked in on my daughter pulling her hair out over chemistry. I’m so happy I ordered her this book it was where she could understand and grasp the concepts. She finally passed CHEMISTRY YAAAAY!!!!

Explanations of basic principles and vocabulary were clear and uncomplicated. Perfect resource for the beginner.

Bought it as “used very good” but the pages are yellowed and the cover has stains on it. It’s useable but not what I was expecting for “very good”.

I bought this for mu husband to test out of remedial chemistry in college. I took remedial chemistry because it was not my strongest subject and I did not have a thought to buy this book for myself! Time makes you wiser and I wish I had this to test out of it too! I looked it over when it arrived, page by page and it 100% takes care of EVERYTHING you need to know about introduction to chemistry. You don't need a background for this, it is designed for people who know little to nothing about chemistry. If you are good at chemistry, but need a refresher, I would not recommend this. Buy Chemistry Essentials for Dummies instead. I also have that book for myself and it is a 1/4 the size of this book and it hits the MAIN points quick to click off your light-bulb! Hope this helps!

Super book I ever brought. Buy it and read it

The author made chemistry easier to understand. His style of writing is friendly & humorous

Is helpful for new students.

見た目は分厚そうな本なのにめちゃくちゃ軽くて驚きました。中身は特に折れている箇所もなく問題ないです。大学で買うと非常に高いのでAmazonにて購入しました。海外発送だったので少々時間がかかりました。授業とのスケジュールを考えてご購入ください。

Certainly not aimed for dummies, it's a pretty daunting read.
