Teaching

Rob is developing interactive tutorials using Mathematica for undergraduate physical chemistry courses thanks to the generous support of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement and the National Science Foundation. To open them, you will need to download the free Wolfram CDF player.

Short Primers

1) Operators and Eigenfunctions

2) Particle in a Box

Full Lessons

1) Measurement and Superpositions

2) One-Dimensional Potential Energy Landscapes

3) Thermal Populations of Quantized Energy Levels

Physical Chemistry Mini-Lectures

Rob uses video mini-lectures (posted on his YouTube channel) in flipped-classroom implementations of his undergraduate physical chemistry courses, roughly following the content of McQuarrie and Simon’s textbook. The playlists (still under construction) are embedded below.

Quantum Chemistry

Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
