A plain-English guide to one of the toughest science courses
around Organic chemistry is rated among the most difficult courses
that students take and is frequently the cause of washout among
pre-med, medical, and nursing students. This book is an
easy-to-understand and fun reference to this challenging subject.
It explains the principles of organic chemistry in simple terms and
includes worked-out problems to help readers get up to speed on the
basics.
