Description of Organic Chemistry I for Dummies 2nd Edition

Organic Chemistry I for Dummies 2nd Edition written by Arthur Winter is a great book for Organic Chemistry studies available in (PDF) download. This Organic Chemistry I For Dummies, I’ve written the book that I would’ve wanted when I was taking the first semester of organic chemistry. That means that this Organic Chemistry I For Dummies book is very practical. It doesn’t try to mimic a textbook or try to replace it. Instead, it’s designed as a complement to a text, highlighting the most important concepts in your chemistry textbook. Whereas an Organic Chemistry I For Dummies textbook gives you mostly a “just-the-facts-ma’am” style of coverage of the material — and provides you with lots of problems at the ends of chapters to see if you can apply those facts — this Organic Chemistry I For Dummies, book acts as an interpreter, guide and translator to the fundamental concepts in the subject. Organic Chemistry I For Dummies book also gets to the nuts and bolts of how to actually go about tackling certain problems in organic chemistry.

Tackling the problems is where the student's majority have the most trouble, in part because so many aspects of a problem must be considered. Where’s the best place to start a problem?  What interesting features do professors like to slip into problems, and what’s the best strategy for tackling a particular problem type? I answer some of these questions in this Organic Chemistry I For Dummies book. Although an Organic chemistry book cannot possibly show you how to solve every kind of problem that you encounter in organic chemistry, it does provide guides for areas that, in my experience, students typically have trouble with.
