CHEM 2500 Lecture Notes (Findlay)

I will post lecture notes for the new CHEM 2500 curriculum on this page after I have taught it.  In the meanwhile, Greg Patenaude is allowing me to post a copy of his notes here.

In Fall 2018/Spring 2019, the CHEM 2500/2600 curriculum was significantly revised, and many topics moved from one course to the other.  Students who would like to review lecture notes from the previous version of CHEM 2500 can find them at the following page: CHEM 2500 lecture notes from Fall 2014

These are skeleton notes; it is intended that you complete them when you attend class.

CHEM 2500 Lecture Notes (Fall 2014)

In Fall 2018/Spring 2019, the CHEM 2500/2600 curriculum was significantly revised, and many topics moved from one course to the other.  For the sake of any students who took either course before the revision who wish to revisit the lecture notes from the version of the course they took, I am archiving my CHEM 2500 notes from the last semester in which I taught the old curriculum.
