A good foundation in math is important in all areas of science, including chemistry. Another change would be to include more practical application examples in textbooks, everyday examples of chemistry to supplement the textbook material. Computers will become as common in the lab as bunsen burners. Chemists study many different fields. For example, physics lays the foundation for chemistry.
Mathematical concepts are important in chemistry.
In addition, when we perform research, we have to develop a philosophy about what we propose to study. Once we introduce philosophy, all areas of liberal arts become important. Therefore, a chemist must be a well-rounded student. I'd like to thank Dr. Warner on behalf of the NSN and its schools for taking the time to participate. I'd also like to thank Mitchell Brown, the chemistry librarian at LSU, for all the efforts he's made for this event.
