Chemistry is the study of the organization, manipulation, and characterization of matter.

The courses I teach are guided by this master narrative about chemistry. These are lower and upper division undergraduate courses, as well as graduate and elective courses. While the coursework is often presented in discrete units, it is important to know that in chemistry, there are rules that connect all the parts into a larger, coherent, and useful whole.
