  This website has excellent, free, online college-level textbooks on all sorts of scientific topics.

• I want to begin learning basic chemistry. I will obviously need equipment. What equipment do I need to start my venture?

  General Chemistry texts don't change much from year to year. They shuffle the problems and the page numbers so students have to buy the current edition and pay $250-$300. Five year old used texts can be had for $20 - $30 from Amazon or Powells. There are free, but perfectly good, texts available as pdfs on openstax.org or libretexts.org , too, which are every bit as good as the expensive paper ones. Source: over 2 years ago
