"The goal of this textbook is not to make you an expert. True expertise in any field is a years-long endeavor. Here I [i.e. David W. Ball] will survey some of the basic topics of chemistry. This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry."--BCcampus website.

In 46 episodes, Phil Plait (aka The Bad Astronomer) teaches you astronomy! This course starts with the astronomical observations we can make with the naked eye and expands out to cover the solar system, stars, galaxies, and the universe itself. The content is loosely based on an introductory university-level curriculum. By the end of this course, you will be able to: * Define the components of the universe, from the planets in the Solar System to dark energy and gamma rays * Understand how astronomers collect and analyze data to study the past and current state of the universe * Explain the difference between asteroids, comets, and meteors * Contextualize observed phenomena within scientific theories about the history and physics of space, such as the Big Bang theory

In 50 episodes, Dr. Deboki Chakravarti will teach you organic chemistry. This course is based on sophomore-level college material, covering topics from Organic Chemistry I and II. It was developed with 9 reference texts and journal articles on specialized topics in organic chemistry, in particular: Organic Chemistry texts by Brown, Foote, Iverson and Ansyln (8th ed.); Clayden, Greeves and Warren (2nd ed.); McMurry (9th ed.) By the end of this course, you will be able to: * Recognize and name the major functional groups in organic compounds * Understand the influence of molecular structure and conformation on chemical properties and reactivity * Identify the possible reactions for a given organic compound and select reasonable reaction mechanisms given the reactant structure and functional groups * Sketch a mechanism for an organic reaction, showing valid arrow-pushing and formal charges * Develop and compare synthetic routes to a target molecule from a starting compound * Interpret spectra (e.g. IR, NMR, MS, UV/vis) and understand how they are used in structure determination * Connect the chemical properties of organic compounds to their real-world applications (e.g. in polymers, medicine, and biochemistry).

In 44 episodes, Adriene Hill teaches you Statistics! This course is based on the 2018 AP Statistics curriculum and introduces everything from basic descriptive statistics to data collection to hot topics in data analysis like Big Data and neural networks. By the end of the course, you will be able to: *Identify questions that can be answered using statistics *Describe patterns, trends, associations, and relationships in data both numerically and graphically *Justify a conclusion using evidence from data, definitions, or statistical inference *Apply statistical models to make inferences and predictions from data sets *Understand how statistics are used broadly in the world and interpret their meaning, like in newspapers or scientific studies Learning playlist

Numerical methods are techniques to approximate mathematical procedures (e.g., integrals). Approximations are needed because we either cannot solve the procedure analytically (e.g., the standard normal cumulative distribution function) or because the analytical method is intractable (e.g., solving a set of a thousand simultaneous linear equations for a thousand unknowns). By end of this course, participants will be able to apply the numerical methods for the following mathematical procedures and topics: differentiation, nonlinear equations, and simultaneous linear equations, interpolation, regression, integration, and ordinary differential equations. Additionally, they will be able to calculate errors and implement their relationship to the accuracy of the numerical solutions. To be prepared for this course, students should have a passing grade in introductory physics, integral calculus, differential calculus, and ordinary differential equations.
