This is nearly a physics class, however. The first semester in particular we will call on results from mechanics and electromagnetism to justify some of our conclusions about atomic and molecular structure. There is an introductory chapter to the course notes that summarizes the prerequisites we will rely on most often. Your texts for previous math and physics courses should help you if you're rusty in those areas. We have a lot of material to cover, and we will cover almost all of it.
Lectures are therefore rather fast-paced.
