Chem 590: Special Topics is custom graduate course that focuses on statistical thermodynamics and using simple models to explain the behavior of solutions, phase transitions, polymers, and biomolecules. A key theme will be using simple approximations to bridge the gap between molecular properties and bulk properties.

Chem 120: General Chemistry I is a classic first semester of college chemistry intended for science majors who need a solid foundation of chemistry for their future work. Topics include atomic structure, periodic trends, the atomic theory, gas laws, thermochemistry, stoichiometry, solubility rules, Lewis structures, chemical bonding, molecular orbitals.
