OpenStax Chemistry: Atoms First 2e.
This text is a open source and free online textbook
If you create a login with OpenStax (registration is also free) you can highlight, comment, and mark up the text just like you would a paper copy.
If you prefer a paper copy you can either print the text yourself here or purchase a printed paperback copy from amazon here for $52.00 ($65.00 hard cover).
Please note that most students do well with the electronic version so you may want to try a couple of weeks online before you decide to print.

This software is also linked to our OpenStax textbook for no additional cost.
If you are planning on taking CHEM106 with Dr. Neiles in the fall then you will also be using this software (2nd semester price is $21.95).
This is a very specific notebook you will need to have to easily and effectively submit your work (instructions on how this works will be provided in Bb).
It can be purchased from amazon here. I am not particular about which size you choose, executive (6"x8.8" = $35) or letter (8.5"x11" = $37).
This notebook uses only one type of pen (frixion), one of which will come with the notebook. If you feel you need more, others can be purchased at most office supply stores or from amazon here.
NOTE: This notebook is re-usable. All you have to do is wipe the pages clean with a damp cloth. I have been using some of mine for the past 5 years and they are incredible! Additionally, the notebook includes personal planning pages that are very helpful for implementing course planning strategies.
This book is helpful for anyone who feels they might need additional help on the math heavy topics. It's content covers both first and second semester general chemistry.
It can be purchased from amazon here for $20-$30.
