pmeilaen Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Has anybody used the chemistry text General Chemistry: Atoms First by McMurry/Fay? If so, what is your opionion of this text for a one year general chemistry course? Is it doable, if you are not a science person? We would be taking a college class that uses that book.

Mike in SA Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 We used McMurry Fay (but the general version), and found it to be extremely well written. It was way better than my college chemistry textbook. We are well versed in science, but it was clearly one of the most accessible texts we had seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much math is the mininum requirement you need for this text? Would two years of Saxon Math be enough (Algebra 1 and 2)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
