Spring 2008, Section 001: MWF 9:10 - 10:05 am

The sections of the textbook that cover the material for each lecture are included in the list below, but note that the correspondence between the lectures and the textbook will not be perfect.  If you have time to read the material before the lecture, you are encouraged to do so, but you should certainly read the material after the lecture and supplement your lecture notes as you read.  We will also frequently refer to material from CHEM 3311, so be prepared to re-read material from Chapters 1 - 12.

Homework assignments are problems from the ends of each chapter.  Answers should be written out and brought to the next class period.  Note that assignments are the minimum number of problems that it is necessary to work to feel comfortable with proficiency.  You are encouraged to work as many more problems as you have time for.

‘It is a nuisance that knowledge can only be acquired by hard work.’— W. Somerset Maugham
