Great Intro to College-Level Chemistry by F. cook (Florida)  5 Stars
October 29, 2008
This is a great supplementary book for an introductory-level college chemistry course. It explains major concepts and theories in full detail, but refrains from the intense mathematical derivations of some functions that aren't required for a general chemistry course. Gray uses a common-sense approach in tackling complex functions, visually showing their physical counterparts (such as orbitals in the case of the Schrodinger Equation) rather than relying solely on equations.

A good intro MO theory book for some.  4 Stars
October 30, 2003
This was one of the books used in my introductory freshman chemistry class at my university. It has highly informative, yet concise explanations covering the basics of molecular orbital theory. While I preferred this book to our other text for its conciseness, those without a good background in chemistry may have a difficult time with the book for the same reason. My only complaint about the book is that Gray uses CGS units instead of SI.

by Steven C. Frautschi (Author), Richard P. Olenick (Author), Tom M. Apostol (Author), David L. Goodstein (Author)
This innovative physics textbook intended for science and engineering majors develops classical mechanics from a historical perspective. The presentation of the standard course material includes a discussion of the thought processes of the discoverers and a description of the methods by which they arrived at their theories. However the presentation proceeds logically rather than strictly chronologically, so new concepts are introduced at the natural moment. The book assumes a familiarity with...
