Barun Academic Center - Irvine, California

The course provides an excellent foundation for the aspiring math student. The curriculum provides students an opportunity to:

	Analyze graphs through predicting and explaining data.
	Understand limit function theory, one-side and two-sided.
	Develop a strong foundation in calculus theory, including:

	Continuity
	Derivatives (conceptually, at a point, as a function, in applications, and second derivatives)
	Integrals (interpretation, properties, applications, techniques, numerical approximations)
	Fundamental theorem of calculus
	Anti-differentiation

Students can expect homework, quizzes, a mid-term and a final. Grades will be given.

The course is designed to prepare students for the equivalent of a college introductory chemistry course usually taken by chemistry majors during their first college year. This course meets the objectives of a general chemistry course, where students attain a depth of understanding of fundamentals and a reasonable competence in dealing with chemical problems. The course contributes to the development of the students' abilities to think clearly and to express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity and logic. Course content broadly covers:

	Structure of matter: including atomic theory and structure; chemical bonding; nuclear chemistry
	States of matter: including laws of gases; kinetic molecular theory; liquids and solids phase diagrams; solubility
	Reactions: including reaction types; stoichiometry; concept of dynamic equilibrium; kinetics; thermodynamics
	Descriptive chemistry: including chemical reactivity; periodic table relationships; introduction to organic chemistry
Students can expect homework, quizzes, a mid-term and a final. Grades will be given.

The course is designed to enable students to develop the ability to reason about physical phenomena using important science practices, such as explaining relationships, applying and justifying the use of mathematical routines, designing experiments, analyzing data, and making connections across multiple topics within the course. This is a small group class that provides instruction in the following areas:

	Kinematics (Reference Frames and Displacement; Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity; Motion at Constant Acceleration; Falling Objects)
	Dynamics (Forces; Free-Body-Diagrams; Newton’s Laws of Motion; Mass and Weight)
	Circular Motion and Gravitation (Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion; Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion; Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation)
	Energy (Work; Kinetic Energy and the Work-Energy Theorem)
	Momentum (Impulse and Change in Momentum; Conservation of Momentum)
	Unit Simple Harmonic Motion (Simple Harmonic Motion; SHM Graphs: position, velocity, acceleration, energy)
	Torque and Rotational Motion (Torque; Center of Mass (qualitative); Rotational Kinematics; Rotational Dynamics and Rotational Inertia)
Students can expect homework, quizzes, a mid-term and a final. Grades will be given.
