CHEMISTRY 125 / Freshman Organic Chemistry

Spring 2011

Text:    We will rely on the Chem 125 webpage and on our Wiki at ClassesV2

    As in the fall term no text is required.  The text you were given in the fall term should be an adequate supplement to the powerpoints, lecture recordings, webpage, and wiki, but if you'd feel more comfortable possessing the text we used a year ago, it was M. Jones, Jr., and S. A. Fleming, Organic Chemistry (4th Edition).
