AI Thread Summary
Organic Chemistry 1 students often find McMurry's 8th edition challenging, particularly with comprehension and homework sections. Recommendations for alternative textbooks include David Klein's Organic Chemistry, Morrison & Boyd, Wade Jr's Organic Chemistry, and Hornback's Organic Chemistry, all noted for their clarity and effectiveness in introducing concepts. Solomon's and Fryle's text is also highlighted as a strong option for foundational understanding.

Hello,

I will be taking Organic Chemistry 1 in the fall. I've been reading some sections of organic chemistry 8th edition by john e. mcmurry. This book is required and I was wondering if there's any other chemistry books. When I read it, it makes it hard for me to understand what it's saying. And The homework section is confusing.

Besides David Klein, are there other ones like him?

Morrison & Boyd.
 
I recommend Wade Jr's Organic Chemistry or Hornback's Organic Chemistry. Both are very good at first introduction.
 
Solomon's and fryl is best!
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
