Discusses the nation's universities producing the most chemistry graduates at all degree levels. Lists in order of number of graduates the top 25 institutions granting bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees. (MLH)

Discusses the current trend in education towards empiricism and measurement, and urges that education include human values. (MLH)

Describes a classification test that uses a sodium nitroprusside reagent to identify aliphatic and aryl amines. (MLH)

Discusses the goals and methodologies of several types of physics-and-society courses, citing content, disciplinary costs, and advantages to the student. (MLH)

Discusses two types of science-and-society courses: (1) those that examine little scientific subject matter, instead concentrating on political and sociological problems; and (2) those that give an overview of the achievements of modern scientific inquiry. (MLH)

Describes the construction of an inexpensive column for gel filtration and results of experiments suitable for undergraduate biochemistry students. (MLH)

Describes the implementation of a university chemistry department's learning aids laboratory, including costs, basic equipment needed, and the services offered by the lab, such as audiotapes, filmloops, television facilities, and programmed texts. (MLH)

Describes a presentation of basic quantum mechanics for nonscience majors that relies on a computer-generated graphic display to circumvent the usual mathematical difficulties. It allows a detailed treatment of free-particle motion in a wave picture. (MLH)

Ninety-two students enrolled in a physical science course for nonscience majors were tested to determine their understanding of the scientific enterprise, attitudes towards science, and understanding of solid matter and techniques of investigation. Results indicated the course contributed to improving all factors investigated. (SL)

Discusses the contributions made by the field of quantum electrodynamics to the understanding of positroniums. (MLH)

Describes the construction of a versatile signal generator suitable for use in cyclic voltammetric experiments, which can also be adapted to a conventional dc polarograph by replacing its ramp source. (MLH)

Discusses Bohr's atomic theory from a chemical, rather than a physical, standpoint. (MLH)

Discusses the idea of confined quarks or partons as constituents of the elementary particles was already present in the Greek atomic theory. (MLH)

Mathematical abilities at the beginning of a physics course weakly correlate with performance in the course. (MLH)

Discusses gel chromatography of metal ions, ligands, and resultant metal complexes; how this method can be used to determine stability constants is considered. (MLH)
