3.00 Credits
From the very early days of computers, they have been used in atomic simulations. Today, there are many algorithms for simulating chemical events. Simulations allow us to gain insight into possible causes of physical phenomena. This course introduces some of the methods used to simulate chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Potential energy surfaces, Monte Carlo methods, and molecular dynamics are introduced and applied to projects in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Meets Science and Math II-C requirement M. Gomez Prereq. Mathematics 202 (or equivalent), or permission of the instructor; 4 credits

This course will examine the chemistry of the surface of the Earth. Our planet is basically a closed system, and chemical cycles of certain elements are driven by biological and geological processes which, in turn, determine the distribution and nature of life on Earth.We will study the chemistry of the atmosphere, soils, rivers, and oceans and look at how these systems are connected via the global nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon cycles.We will especially focus on the carbon cycle and examine how humans have altered the distribution of this central element. Lecture sessions will be complemented by reading-based discussions. Meets Science and Math II-C requirement A. Dickens Prereq. Chemistry 101, Chemistry 201 recommended; 4 credits

3.00 Credits
(Writing-intensive course) Traces the growth of chemistry in several ways: as a body of knowledge and beliefs, as a practical means of intervention, and as a community of practitioners linked (or divided) by sociopolitical bonds and common interests, intellectual and otherwise. A?er an overview of chemical history and an introduction to various scholarly traditions in the field, the balance of the course will be devoted to case studies of narrower topics or episodes, such as the alchemical tradition and Robert Boyle, the eighteenth-century Chemical Revolution, nineteenth-century organic chemistry, Ionism, atomism and elementalism, chemistry and war, the quantum revolution, educational traditions, the role of women. Meets Science and Math II-C requirement D. Cotter Prereq. soph, jr, sr, or permission of instructor; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
Independent work in chemistry can be conducted with any member of the department. Does not meet a distribution requirement The departmen Prereq. soph, permission of department required every semester; Note: Students conducting an independent laboratory research project for course credit in a department, program, or laboratory covered by the College's chemical hygiene plan must participate in a safety training session before beginning research. Course credit will not be granted to students who do not receive safety training.; 1 to 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Chemistry 202 that addresses the chemistry of aromatic compounds, the carbonyl group, and a number of other functional groups. Examples drawn from compounds of biological interest. The laboratory includes organic synthesis and the identification of unknown compounds by chemical and spectroscopic means. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement S. Browne Prereq. Chemistry 202 with grade of C or better; 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A consideration of the contribution of thermodynamics to the understanding of the "driving forces" for physical chemicalchanges and the nature of the equilibrium state. Meets Science and Math II-B requirement W. Chen Prereq. Chemistry 201, Chemistry 202, Mathematics 101, Physics 103 and 204, or 115 with grade of C or better; 4 credits

4.00 Credits
Uses extended research-style projects to introduce advanced techniques in physical measurement (e.g., high-resolution spectroscopy, calorimetry, electrochemistry), separation and analysis (e.g., gas- and liquid-phase chromatagraphy,mass spectrometry), and chemical synthesis (e.g., catalytic and enantioselectivemethods, biomolecules, polymers). Students will increase their repertoire of laboratory skills while learning to integrate concepts fromdifferent subdisciplines of chemistry into a unified experimental approach to problemsolving. Does not meet a distribution requirement A. Dickens Prereq. Chemistry 302, 2 lectures (75 minutes), 1 discussion (50 minutes), l lab (4 hours); 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of molecules of high molecular weights with emphasis on synthetic rather than naturally occurring polymers. Topics include polymerization, structures, molecular weight determination, molecular weight distribution, chain configurations, rubber elasticity, and thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of polymer solutions. Does not meet a distribution requirement W. Chen Prereq. Chemistry 302; offered once every three years; 4 credits
