The following courses are offered for summer 2012. Courses with less than five students registered by April 16 for Session I and June 11 for Session 2 are subject to cancellation.
Session I (May 29-June 30)
CHEMISTRY 103 - General Chemistry I - Lecture and Laboratory
(this course is for postbac students only)
Topics include atomic structure and the periodic table; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; introduction to thermodynamics; chemical periodicity, bonding, and molecular structure; introduction to organic chemistry; properties of gases, liquid, and solids; and intermolecular forces. Basic algebra skills are essential. Laboratory work emphasizes quantitative techniques and the application of principles discussed in the lectures. Labs will be scheduled the first day of classes.
CHEMISTRY 211 - Organic Chemistry I - Lecture and Laboratory
An introduction to the principles of organic chemistry, including synthetic and spectroscopic techniques.
Prerequisite: One year of general chemistry.
BIOCHEMISTRY 354 - Topics in Biochemistry - Lecture only (no laboratory)
This course covers many of the essential topics important to the study and understanding of biochemistry. Topics will include: protein structure & functions, enzymes, lipids and cell membranes, cell signal transduction, metabolism, and application of biochemical principles in the study and treatment of certain human diseases. The final project is a presentation to the class dealing with a topic relevant to the course.
Prerequisites: One semester of organic chemistry and one year of biology or permission of instructor.
MATHEMATICS 101- Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
Differentiation and integration of algebraic and elementary transcendental functions, with the necessary elements of analytical geometry and trigonometry; the fundamental theorem of calculus; its role in theory and applications; methods of integration; applications of definite integral; infinite series.
CHEMISTRY 104- General Chemistry II - Lecture and Laboratory
(this course is for postbac students only)
Topics include solutions; equilibria, acid-base chemistry, and solubility; energy and thermodynamics; chemical kinetics; electrochemistry; and selected chemistry of the transition metals. Laboratory work emphasizes quantitative techniques and the application of principles discussed in the lectures.
Prerequisite: One semester of general chemistry.
CHEMISTRY 212- Organic Chemistry II - Lecture and Laboratory
A continuation of CHEM 211 with an exploration of complex chemical reactions and syntheses utilizing structure-reactivity principles.
Prerequisite: One semester of organic chemistry.
MATH 101- Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
Differentiation and integration of algebraic and elementary transcendental functions, with the necessary elements of analytical geometry and trigonometry; the fundamental theorem of calculus; its role in theory and applications; methods of integration; applications of definite integral; infinite series.
MATH 102- Calculus with Analytic Geometry II
Differentiation and integration of algebraic and elementary transcendental functions, with the necessary elements of analytical geometry and trigonometry; the fundamental theorem of calculus; its role in theory and applications; methods of integration; applications of definite integral; infinite series.
Prerequisite: Math 101
