This course reviews fundamental concepts in arithmetic and algebra, introduces basic concepts in chemistry, and teaches problem solving skills used in chemical calculations.
Emphasis is on the use of dimensional analysis techniques.
Credit does not apply toward a minor in science or toward the 120 s.h. required for a degree. This course surveys basic concepts in chemistry as they apply to everyday life. Topics include energy resources, the food supply, and the environment. This course surveys scientific laws, principles, models and concepts to help the students understand both environmental and resource problems and their possible solutions, and how these concepts, problems and solutions are connected. The effect on non-industrialized agricultural societies and industrialized societies on the environment is discussed.
