LECTURE TITLESChemistry and Our Universe: How It All Works
Course no. 1350 | 60 lectures (30 minutes/lecture)Understand Chemistry
from Particles to Polymers
Our world is ruled by chemistry. It is the study of matter and energy at
the scale of atoms and molecules. As the most all-embracing discipline
there is, it should be at the top of everyone’s list of must-learn subjects.
Chemistry and Our Universe: How It All Works is your in-depth
introduction to this vital field, taught through 60 visually engaging
half-hour lectures that are suitable for any background or none at all.
Covering a year’s worth of introductory general chemistry at the college
level, plus intriguing topics that are rarely discussed in the classroom, this
amazingly comprehensive course requires nothing more advanced than
high-school math. Your guide is Professor Ron B. Davis Jr., a research
chemist and award-winning teacher at Georgetown University. With
passion and humor, Professor Davis guides you through the fascinating
world of atoms, molecules, and their remarkable interactions, showing
you how to think, analyze problems, and predict outcomes like a true
expert in the field.
