Schaum's Outlines of Beginning Chemistry

It contains hundreds of examples and exercises and covers all the basic stuff in high school chemistry. If you are going to take the AP Chemistry exam, you can combine this book with the Princeton Review AP Chemistry book. If you are already in college, you can buy Schaum's College Chemistry Ninth Edition instead.

This book was helpful for a honors chemistry class {11th grade}. It made things much clearer. It's been a great addition to the text book. It's simple and to the point...not too complex.

During 1963-4 I took Chemistry I during my 11th grade year. My teacher demanded that all of us purchase a Schaum's Outline Series for Chemistry, a CRC rubber handbook and a slide rule. All three items played a vital role that year. Schaum's publications continued to play an important role in my life through my HS senior year (Chem-II), through undergraduate school (chemical engineering) and through graduate school (chemistry). Without Schaum's I don't think that I would have successfully completed undergraduate school. During 2000 and 2001 I purchased several Schaum's volumes to help one of my children through chemistry, physics and calculus. Now, during 2009 I purchased "Beginning Chemistry" as a gift for a grandchild of mine who I was asked to tutor. I can only say that the clarity, scope and breadth of the current Schaum's are even better than they once were.

A truly helpful guide to a difficult subject!

Very filling and wonderful!
