Course Philosophy: My goal is to introduce you to chemical concepts that are used extensively by disciplines in the sciences and engineering. It is for this reason that chemistry is sometimes called the central science. A firm grounding in the topics will give you a molecular-level understanding of the concepts that form the basis of broad range of areas such as biochemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science. My other goal is to give you a view of chemistry that in most cases only a chemist can do. I hope to bring to you my sense of excitement that I have for chemistry and chemical research. I hope above all that you will find and remember this course to be intellectually stimulating.
