MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science - Fall 2008
36 Videos · Nov 5, 2008
About
This course provides an introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules. The emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis.
In an effort to illuminate connections between chemistry and biology, a list of the biology-, medicine-, and MIT research-related examples used in 5.111 is provided in Biology-Related Examples.
Course Highlights
This course features video lectures in the lecture notes section and a full description of class assignments in the assignments section.
Acknowledgments
Development and implementation of the biology-related materials in this course were funded through an HHMI Professors grant to Prof. Catherine L. Drennan.
