CHMY 104 Preparation for Chemistry. 4 Credits

Term Typically Offered: Fall

Prerequisite(s): Basic knowledge of algebra is recommended; if you do not have this knowledge, please consult with instructor.

Corequisite(s): CHMY 106.

4cr. (3 lec/1 other/wk) Prepares students to succeed in the one-semester CHMY 121 or two-semester CHMY 141/CHMY 143 College Chemistry series by developing necessary mathematical and scientific problem-solving skills. The primary goal of the course is to help students attain the tools necessary to learn chemistry through developing the knowledge and skills required to look at the world at the atomic scale. Students will review relevant algebra skills, refine study habits critical to learning chemistry, and develop thinking patterns used to solve chemical problems, such as recognizing mathematical relationships in data and manipulating mental models to explain macroscopic phenomena. The course will explore and explain several of the theories and concepts of chemistry for incoming students. The focus of CHMY 104 will be chemically relevant algebra, the scientific method, periodic table interpretation, chemical nomenclature, balancing chemical equations, stoichiometry, and gas laws. Each topic will include a special focus on the procedural math associated with related problem-solving tasks. The course consists of three 1-hour face-to-face lectures per week plus a more personal 1-hour integrated recitation each week. The recitation will focus primarily on problem recognition, interpretation, and solving skills.
