Additional Materials – The materials listed below may be helpful, but are not strictly necessary for understanding this course.

•  Foundations_Ch3 – This is an excerpt from a book that I am working on, describing all of the chemistry that you will need for this class — and much more. It actually goes into deeper detail than you need, but perhaps it will be useful to some of you. It was originally written as a review of basic chemistry for students of Human Anatomy and Physiology. Tell me what you think!
