Teaching: Physical Chemistry
Physical chemistry includes quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and chemical dynamics and kinetics. I have worked in all aspects of theoretical physical chemistry, and have prepared tools to help teach undergraduate and graduate students.
- Stat Mech Study Notes, 27 June 2006 [PDF]: Notes for fellow grad students. Covers the beginning of David Chandler’s Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics. (I never got around to writing up more of these.)
- Solutions to various problems from Chandler’s Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics.
- Bonus Problems for Undergrad PChem: I came up with a few bonus problems while teaching the quantum side of physical chemistry. I never got around to writing up the answer for the last one (but there is a solution!)
- Details on Problem 7-31 [PDF]: Clarification of the source of a formula used in problem 7-31 of McQuarrie and Simon’s PChem text. (for undergrad PChem)
- Solutions to problems from a gradute-level quantum mechanics course.
