Below are lecture/discussion notes that I developed for classes, in which I was a teaching assistant for at UC-Davis.Chemistry 107A: Physical Chemistry. Introductory development of classical and statistical thermodynamics including equilibrium processes and solutions of non-electrolytes. Kinetic theory of gases and liquids. Transport processes in liquids and solutions Chemistry 107B: Physical Chemistry. Electrochemistry and the thermodynamics of simple electrolyte solutions. Chemical rate processes. Introduction to spectroscopy, atomic and molecular structure, x-ray crystallography, radiation and nuclear chemistry, and to surface chemistry and collodial systems. Considerations on bio-irreversible processes. Chemistry 108: Biophysical Chemistry. Physical properties and characterization of macromolecules with emphasis upon those of biological interest. Structural thermodynamic, optical and transport properties of polymers in bulk and in solution. Physical characterization methods. Special topics on the properties of poly-electrolyte systems. Chemistry 215: Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. Mathematics of wide utility in chemistry, computational methods for guidance or alternative to experiment, and modern formulations of chemical theory. Engineering and Computer Science 50: Computer Organization and Machine-Dependent Programming. Comparative study of different hardware architectures via programming in the assembly languages of various machines. Role of system software in producing an abstract machine. Engineering and Computer Science 122A: Algorithm Design and Analysis. Complexity of algorithms, bounds on complexity, algorithms for searching, sorting, pattern matching, graph manipulation, combinatorial problems, introduction to NP-complete problems. |
