Solid state in chemistry

Semester: 

1st semester

Offered: 

2020

The course is intended for graduate students and 3rd-year undergraduates. The course starts with the basic property of crystalline solids – spatial periodicity – and shows how various properties that are characteristic of solids and phenomena that can be measured in solid materials follow from their spatial periodic structure. In addition, we also introduce certain theoretical concepts that are unique to periodic solids and then use them in our discussions.

The topics of the course include:

Mathematical Introduction for Chemistry and Earth Sciences students (2)

Semester: 

2nd semester

Offered: 

2020

This is a compulsory course aimed at Chemistry and Earth Sciences students at the second semester of their first bachelor year. The course intends to provide the students with the mathematical tools they need in studying courses in chemistry and physics. Upon successful completion of the course, the students should be familiar with the main mathematical concepts and methods in many-variable calculus, vector analysis and ordinary differential equations, and be able to apply them to problems in chemistry.
