Coverage Chapters 1-13 in McMurry
Do all of the assigned problems in each chapter. Do more if you have the time. The following homework problems are from the ends of the chapters in the McMurry text. Also included are assignments in "Pushing Electrons", a work book that consists of a mixture of text and problems, and in "Chem TV Organic Chemistry". Chem TV consists of a work book and computer-viewable information; although the two are meant to go together it is certainly possible to get a lot from the workbook alone without watching TV.
