COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Fall 2026
CHEM 371 – Quantum Mechanics and Spectroscopy (Lecture)
Mon., Wed., and Fri., 9:00 - 9:50
This course focusses on developing a quantum mechanical understanding of chemistry. Quantum
mechanical models are developed and applied to help students understand rotational, vibrational,
electronic spectroscopy, and bonding. The connection to quantum chemical calculations is explored.
NMR spectroscopy is also discussed from a quantum mechanical perspective.
PHYS 241 – Mechanics
Mon., Wed., and Fri., 8:00 - 8:50, Lab: Thurs., 2:00 – 4:50
Kinematics, particle dynamics, work and energy, linear momentum, rotational kinematics, rotational
dynamics, equilibrium of rigid bodies.
Winter 2027
CHEM 312 - Analytical Chemistry II (Lecture)
Tue., and Thurs., 8:00 - 9:20
This introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry particularly emphasizes the modern
instrumental techniques of spectroscopy and chromatography important to both chemistry and
biochemistry. Spectrophotometry, solvent extraction, liquid chromatography, high-pressure liquid
chromatography, gas-chromatography, and potentiometry utilizing ion-selective electrodes are
among the methods studied. An introduction to questions of precision, accuracy and sampling will
also be given.
PHYS 243 - Wave Motion and Electricity
Mon., Wed., and Fri., 8:00 - 8:50, Lab: Fri., 2:00 – 4:50
A calculus based course concerned with gravitational fields and potentials, oscillations and wave
motion including an introduction to Wave Mechanics and Quantum Theory.
