The desire of our ancestors to learn about how the world around them worked was the the first step toward our modern technological world. Through the ages some have been especially driven to understand the world about them. Some, like Newton and Einstein, are known to everyone, while others, such as Gibbs and Werner, are known only to chemists. What all of them had in common was a burning desire to comprehend the physical world around them and many of them described a life-changing experience that ignited that desire in them (click here to read one chemist's account of his life-changing moment). While we do not expect CHEM 100 to be a “life-changing” experience, we do hope that you will enjoy the act of discovery, which is the very essence of science. Only in a science course can you form ideas, test them, make observations, and then reform your ideas and opinions based upon your experience. We hope you enjoy the semester!
