16 Units. Specified core courses are signified by icon.Course Name | Units | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
CHEM-1: General Chemistry I | 5 | ||
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 110 or one year of high school chemistry, This course introduces students to the basic principles of chemistry with a quantitative emphasis. Topics include atomic theory, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, intermolecular forces and solutions. This is the first semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics, and engineering. The two-semester sequence of CHEM 1 and CHEM 2 provides the basic chemical background needed for further investigations into our physical environment. (C-ID CHEM 110/120S). |
|||
MATH-30: Analytic Geom/Calc I | 5 | Recommended math placement varies. | |
Prerequisite(s): MATH 20 and MATH 26 or college-level pre-calculus A first course in differential and integral calculus of a single variable: functions, limits and continuity, techniques and applications of differentiation and integration, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Primarily for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math Majors. (C-ID MATH 210). |
|||
ENGL-2: Reading and Composition | 3 | Recommended English placement varies. | |
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 118 or ENGL 119 This course develops college-level critical reading and writing practices. Students will critically read expository, argumentative, and fictional texts and develop expository, persuasive, and argumentative academic writing. Essays will demonstrate reading comprehension, analysis, critique, academic research, and synthesis. (C-ID ENGL 100). |

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1 This course is a continuation of CHEM 1, General Chemistry I. Topics include chemical kinetics and equilibrium, acid-base and solubility equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, nuclear chemistry, introduction to organic chemistry and qualitative analysis. This is the second semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics, and engineering. The two-semester sequence of CHEM 1 and CHEM 2 provides the basic chemical background needed for further investigations into our physical environment. (C-ID CHEM 120S) (C-ID CHEM 120S = CHEM 1 and CHEM 2). |
|||
MATH-31: Analytic Geom/Calc II | 4 | ||
Prerequisite(s): MATH 30 A second course in differential and integral calculus of a single variable: integration; techniques of integration, infinite sequences and series, polar and parametric equations, applications of integration. Primarily for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math Majors. For students who have no knowledge of or access to a symbolic math program (such as MAPLE, Mathematica, Derive, or the TI-89,) the mathematics department offers instruction in MAPLE (MATH 31A), which may be taken concurrently with MATH 31. (C-ID MATH 220). |
|||
PHYS-41: Phy-Scientists/Egr I | 4 | ||
