General Chemistry I Workbook is designed to provide open access to education for all kinds of students regardless of school background or lack of it. All you have to do is read the simple discussions of such topics as measurement, identities of chemicals, how we quantify chemicals, etc. You will fill in the blanks here and there, and follow prompts to help you solve simple problems. In today's world of technology and unseen dangers to our health everyone is expected to understand basic chemistry. Here then, is a guide into general chemistry.

Dr. Nare Alpheus Mautjana is an Associate Professor (Chemistry) at Santa Fe College, Florida, USA – the 1st Place-ranked Community College (by Aspen 2015). Dr. Mautjana is among early recipients of B.Tech. degrees (Vaal University of Technology) in South Africa, and later received his M.S. degree (University of Cape Town) followed by private sector positions in Research & Development as well as Chemical Manufacturing. He received PhD at the University of Florida where he began his teaching career as a 2005-2006 award-winning Teaching Assistant for General Chemistry I & II and was subsequently assigned to teach Analytical Chemistry, and BioPhysical Chemistry courses as well. He was appointed Senior Lecturer at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa prior to joining Santa Fe College in 2012.
