There will be 46 lectures which includes an introduction and three one-hour-exams. Note that the course starts on Wednesday, January 22. The following course schedule is preliminary and I might lengthen or shorten parts of the course as I see fit depending on feedback. What this schedule provides is primarily the sequence of the material we will cover. Note that suggested reading and exercises & self-study are specified in the last two columns. Self-study assignments will be added as the semester progresses. You should have read the chapters before that lecture is given. We will omit parts of various chapters and appropriate announcements will be made in class. And remember: Chemistry can be great fun but good things never come easy!
