Voevodsky, and the regular scientific meeting has to be a little bit special.
Chemistry 201: Introduction to Physical Chemistry
Probably the best tribute to a scientist is to further develop the original ideas and see them live on in new generations of researchers already active and yet to come. VV was at the forefront of physical revolution in chemistry, and almost any modern study in chemical physics or physical chemistry would be a fair homage to his legacy. The organizers invite you to come and share your passion for science, meet old and make new friends, and make the IX Voevodsky Conference a fruitful and enjoyable scientific event.
The official language of the Conference will be English. Current information on the Conference, including the lists of participants and invited speakers, program, etc.
This course is intended to prepare students for a career in chemistry or biochemistry, as well as the medical and engineering professions. A thorough study of the fundamental techniques and theoretical background of classical volumetric and gravimetric analysis together with some instrumental analytical methods such as colorimetry, potentiometry, and separation techniques. Prerequisite: CHEM or This course discusses the chemical principles underlying natural processes and the ways in which human activity affects those processes. Sources, sinks, and interactions of important environmental compounds are investigated.
A one-semester course designed primarily for A. A study of gas properties, thermodynamics, elementary quantum mechanics, kinetics, and lasers. A study of classical thermodynamics, equilibria, ideal and real gases, and solutions.

The laboratory focuses on the thermodynamics of phase changes, solution formation, and chemical reactions. This course covers quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and kinetics. The laboratory utilizes techniques in IR and UV-VIS absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate concepts in quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and kinetics. A study of advanced optical, electroanalytical, chromatographic, and other instrumental methods of analysis.
Prerequisite: CHEM , , and or , This course builds upon the basic concepts and reactions of organic chemistry. Topics to be included are the effect of structure on chemical reactivity, molecular orbital theory as applied to organic molecules, heterocyclic chemistry, natural products chemistry, and the application of computers to organic chemistry.
ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
This course provides an understanding of structure, function, and metabolism of biological molecules including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Other topics include enzyme catalysis, bioenergetics, metabolic control mechanisms, and information transfer at the molecular level. This course provides laboratory experience and a theoretical analysis of modern preparative, analytical, and physical techniques utilized for the study of proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, membranes, and organelles.
This course does not count as an advanced chemistry elective or fulfill the research requirement of the B.
It may be taken multiple semesters, but no more than four total semesters. This course can either be an independent research project or a study of one or more advanced topics in chemistry based on the interests of the student and faculty member. Physical chemistry is generally considered by students to be the hardest part of a study in chemistry, not in the least due to the range of concepts and mathematical context. According to the introduction for this textbook, 'the emphasis is not on mathematical rigor, although conceptual difficulties are not swept under the rug. Because of differences in the curriculum, it could be used across three years in the UK.

The first thing one notices about this textbook is its compactness. Physical chemistry books used for undergraduate teaching tend to be mighty tomes of A4 pages. This one only comes in at pages of A5 format. It manages to cover most topics that are taught in a UK undergraduate degree. However it leaves out some subjects, for example statistical thermodynamics, which are covered in other standard texts. It does achieve this feat by adopting a terse, but to me very pleasant style, which is clearly rooted in the lecture notes upon which this book was based.
This terse style is both a strength and a weakness of the book. It will work well as a stand-alone textbook for good students and for those who already know some physical chemistry, since they are easily capable of filling any gaps in the exposition. However I suspect that a weaker student may struggle with this text.
I should note that given its size students may actually carry it around with them and consult it, which will be much harder with other textbooks out there.
