I am a strong supporter of open educational resources (OER). I update an open Physical Chemistry textbook annually and maintain a YouTube channel featuring lectures and tutorials on physical, computational, inorganic, transition-metal, and general chemistry. If you’re genuinely curious about how chemistry works, take physical chemistry. And if you’d also like to save $300 on the PChem textbook and solutions manual, take it with me at CWU.
