Chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Required for science majors.
Selected chemistry experiments.
Part one of a two-semester course of study in organic chemistry. Coverage focuses on 1) structural theory of organic chemistry; 2) mechanistic theory of organic reactions; and 3) structure and reactivity profiles of organic compounds. Applications of organic reactions in synthesis and biological chemistry are highlighted.
Selected organic chemistry experiments.
Part two of a two-semester course of study in organic chemistry. Coverage focuses on 1) structural theory of organic chemistry; 2) mechanistic theory of organic reactions; and 3) structure and reactivity profiles of organic compounds. Applications of organic reactions in synthesis and biological chemistry are highlighted.
Selected organic chemistry experiments.
This one semester course will explore many of the diverse aspects of analytical chemistry. Analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with measurement, both qualitative and quantitative. This discipline is also concerned with the chemical composition of samples. This course will cover analytical terminology, common spectro-chemical methods, atomic spectroscopy, separations of complex mixtures and electrochemical methods. Prerequisites: CH 106, CH 106L, MAT 221.
Structure function relationship for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids; enzymes and common mechanisms.
Selected experiments involving carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
This course is designed to reinforce the structure of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates introduced in Biochemistry I and apply them to human metabolic cycles. This course will focus on metabolic chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
An independent laboratory research experience in chemistry.
This course covers functions, limits and rates of change, derivatives, application of differentiation, integrals, and applications of integration. Fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum Math requirement. *MA/DC
This course covers inverse functions, techniques of integration, further applications of integration, parametric equations and polar coordinates, and infinite sequences and series. Fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum Math requirement. *MA/DC
This course covers vectors and the geometry of space, vector functions, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector calculus.
The first of a two-semester introductory physics course at the college algebra and elementary trigonometry level. Course topics include kinematics, heat, circular motion, vibration, waves and sound.
Selected experiments.
A continuation of PY 201. Course topics include magnetism, electricity, light, optics, nuclear reactions and modern physics.
Selected experiments.
An add-on to PY 201 to include the same topics addressed from a calculus perspective.
An add-on to PY 202 to include the same topics addressed from a calculus perspective.
