CHEM181

First part of a two-semester integrated lecture and laboratory sequence introducing the central principles and practices of modern chemistry. The course combines the theoretical foundation with a hands-on training in high-value instrumental and analytical skills and methods in the laboratory. Intended primarily for students pursuing (or interested in pursuing) chemistry and biochemistry, the course is built using a quantitative atoms-first approach and emphasizes practical problem solving. Working individually and in groups in a guided active-learning environment, students build a foundation in general chemistry rooted in a technical (mathematical) perspective of the discipline.
