Introduction to approaches analytical chemists use to analyze the composition of matter, including statistics, calibration, and understanding chemical equilibrium (acid/base, complexation, solubility, polyprotic acid treatment, acid/base/redox/precipitation titrations); general approaches to analysis at the trace level; recognition and evaluation of possible sources of error and how error propagates; introduction to how light interacts with matter (and how analytical chemists can take advantage of this).
