Pending CAP approval This course investigates the representation of human, divine, and animal bodies in ancient Greek art. Adopting a roughly chronological, but always contextual, approach (that is, an approach that takes into account both the broader spatial and socio-cultural milieux), we will engage with ancient Greek roles and perceptions of divinities, mortals, and animals. We will also unpack attitudes and expectations concerning male and female, Greek and foreign, rich and poor, and consider ancient Greek perceptions of beauty and sexuality.

PENDING CAP APPROVAL What does "hypocrisy" have to do with the ancient Greek theater? And what does "delirium" have to do with Roman agriculture? Sixty percent of all English words are derived from Greek and Latin roots, yet the history and effective usage of these words is problematical for many speakers of English. This course will combine hands-on study of Greek and Latin elements in English with lectures and selected primary readings that open a window onto ancient thinking about language, government, the emotions, law, medicine, and education. The course will be graded S/U only.

1 to 4 credits as assigned.

Topics course. Application of group theory to coordination compounds, molecular orbital theory of main group compounds, and organometallic compounds. Prerequisite: 118 or 224.

The interaction of light with molecules is central to studies of molecular structure and reactivity. This course builds on students' understanding of molecular structure from the core sequence (CHM 111-CHM 224) to show how many types of light can be used to interrogate molecules and to shed some light on their behavior. The combined classroom/laboratory format allows students to explore light-based instruments in short, in-class exercises as well as in longer, more traditional labs.

A course emphasizing physical chemistry of biological systems. Topics covered include chemical thermodynamics, solution equilibria, enzyme kinetics, and biochemical transport processes. The laboratory focuses on experimental applications of physical-chemical principles to systems of biochemical importance. Prerequisites: 224 or permission of the instructor, and MTH 112.

Thermodynamics and kinetics: will the contents of this flask react, and if so, how fast? Properties that govern the chemical and physical behavior of macroscopic collections of atoms and molecules (gases, liquids, solids and mixtures of the above). Prerequisite: CHM 224 or CHM 118, and MTH 112 or MTH 114.

Synthetic techniques and experimental design in the context of multistep synthesis. The literature of chemistry, methods of purification and characterization with a focus on NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography. Prerequisite: 223. Enrollment limited to 15.

An examination of modern methods of organic synthesis and approaches to the synthesis of complex organic compounds with a focus on the current literature. Prerequisite: 223.

This final course in the chemistry core sequence provides a foundation in the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry that are central to the study of all chemical phenomena. Topics include quantitative treatment of thermochemistry, chemical equilibria, electrochemistry and reaction kinetics. Prerequisite: CHM 111 or equivalent and MTH 111 or equivalent. Enrollment limited to 16 per lab section.
