Required Textbooks:

D.A. Skoog, F.J. Holler, and S.R. Crouch, Principles of Instrumental
Analysis
, 6th Ed., 2007 (Brooks Cole)

D.C. Harris, Quantitative Chemical Analysis, 8th Ed., 2010 (Freeman)

These texts are available from the University Bookstore or from other booksellers. They are not newly published, so used copies should be available.

We need to use both books. Harris is used as the textbook in Chem 120/220, so you should already have a copy.

Skoog is encyclopedic, and many subjects covered there are not covered in Harris. What is covered in Harris is covered better and is more up-to-date.

Readings will be assigned from both texts in support of the lectures. Homework assignments will come from the problems provided in Harris and occasionally in Skoog.

Other Required Materials:

An i-clicker will be required for this course.
