This course examines how the concepts and techniques of chemical science can be used to gain an understanding of the synthesis, structure and reactivity of inorganic and organometallic molecules. It covers basic coordination chemistry emphasizing structure and bonding in coordination complexes, as well as an introduction to lanthanides and to symmetry in chemistry.

This course provides a study of the techniques used to prepare, integrate, manage, and visualize complex data using modern software environments. It introduces the fundamental concepts of data science through practical use of the industry-standard software environment R. It covers how to program in R, how to effectively manage and manipulate data in R, and the "round trip" of data science (import, tidy, transform, visualize, model, and communicate).

This course provides an introduction to the art and craft of computer programming and object-oriented design using Java. It offers a first look at building graphical applications and forms a base from which you can learn other programming languages and techniques. COMP 160 is a prerequisite for all second year papers in Computer Science. While it is suitable for students enrolled for any degree, it is particularly designed for students taking a BSc, BA or BCom degree.
