DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE
In chemistry we study matter, including its composition, properties, and structure; how it changes and its interactions with energy.
It serves as the interface to practically all the other sciences and many areas of human endeavour. For this reason, chemistry is often said to be (especially by chemists!) the "central science".
Chemistry can be "central" in a much more personal way: with a solid background in Chemistry, you will find it far easier to migrate into other fields as your interests develop.
