Teaching Materials
Collection of HTML handouts, discussions of spectroscopic data, spreadsheets, programs, and Mathcad documents for teaching
chemistry at Widener University. This material was developed for courses I teach at Widener University. Students typically access this information through their course web pages. The links below are an effort to organize it for other faculty. You are welcome to use this material for educational purposes. If you find it useful, please let me know.
- General Chemistry
Materials used for teaching Chemistry I and Chemistry II.
- Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis
Materials used for teaching Instrumental Analysis, Advanced Spectroscopy, and Environmental Analysis.
- Homework Problems and Problem Sets.
