1.00 Credits
This course will focus on topics of interest to artists from the perspective of scientific understanding of the materials comprising their work. Emphasis will be placed on the need for the conservation and preservation of art objects, in particular fresco and easel paintings, ceramic and metallic sculpture, jewelry, and cloth. Dating techniques will be covered as they assist with provenance and authentication studies. Topics of special interest to particular students may be presented as well as a discussion of several masters whose interest in art and science overlap to a considerable degree. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the application of chemical principles to the exploration and explication of archaeological issues. From the identification of ancient trading routes through pottery analysis to the elucidation of human interactions with the environment through investigation of human remains, this course will demonstrate the utility of chemistry and chemical methodologies to archaeological research. Not creditable to chemistry or biochemistry majors. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This lecture and demonstration course will present an introduction to classification and identification of natural, regenerated, and synthetic fibers; construction of woven, non-woven, and knitted fabrics; application and design of finishes and colors; and evaluation methods for textiles. This course includes several field trips. Students should come away from this course with a solid background for the selection, use, and care of textiles and a recognition and appreciation for the science and technology associated with the textile industry. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of the techniques used in the modern forensic laboratory for the analysis of common types of physical evidence encountered at crime scenes. The nature of physical evidence, the underlying chemical and physical principles of the scientific techniques employed in analyses, and the interpretation and evidentiary value of scientific results will be studied. This course will include lectures, demonstrations, and limited laboratory work. Not creditable to the chemistry or biochemistry majors. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course will explore the science of food, both as a necessity and as a source of pleasure, through an understanding of the fundamental chemistry of food, nutrition, cooking, and sensation. All foods are chemicals and the body uses these chemicals in various ways. Cooking is a combination of chemical and physical processes. Cooking exercises will demonstrate the role of various ingredients in the preparation of the final product, whether muffins or mayonnaise. Food is also a source of sensory pleasure. The chemical basis of taste and smell will be considered, including tasting exercises. Finally, there are safety, economic, political and social justice issues surrounding our use of food and its availability. Students will explore some of these issues through independent research and both written and oral presentations. Not creditable to chemistry or biochemistry majors. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course will cover the current knowledge of and theories describing the evolution of the first living systems. Topics to be covered include: the origin and evolution of the solar system, the oldest fossil record and the types of chemistry which could have evolved into true biochemistry on the early earth. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A lecture and laboratory course covering the theory and practice of chemical analysis techniques in a quantitative manner. Detailed discussion of simple and complex acid-base equilibria, and complex buffer systems, will be presented, as will related solubility problems, complex metal-ligand solution equilibria, and oxidation reduction equilibria. Stoichiometry will also be addressed in a systematic way. These techniques will be applied in the laboratory, where accuracy and precision will be stressed. Emphasis will be placed on useful chemical reactions for analysis purposes. Latter stages of the course will deal with potentiometry, spectrometry, and chromatographic theory, both gas and liquid, as a separation tool with practical applications. Prerequisite: C- or better in Chemistry 111L. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A systematic study of the compounds of carbon, including methods of synthesis and correlation of chemical and physical properties with structure. Introduction to certain theoretical concepts. One laboratory per week emphasizing basic techniques and synthesis. Prerequisite: C- or better in Chemistry 111L. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A continuation of the lecture and laboratory study begun in Chemistry 211L. Prerequisite: Chemistry 211L with a grade of C- or better. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
This course will cover basic chemical concepts, such as polarity, volatility, and solubility, as they relate to chemical behavior in the environment. The ability to predict environmental behavior from chemical structure will be emphasized. Human and environmental toxicology will be discussed, and specific pollutants will be examined. Case studies will be used to illustrate concepts. The laboratory will emphasize techniques used for environmental analysis. Prerequisite: C- or better in Chemistry 111L. 1.25 units, Lecture
