[View translation into Polish by Andrey Fomin.]
Quantitative exercises tied to and based upon classic papers from the history of chemistry allow teachers to use historical material and reinforce principle-based problem-solving learning objectives. e.g.
- reproduce the analysis carried out in the original paper, or some part of that analysis
- critically analyze the historical data
Classic Calculations include brief historical notes on the investigators and explanatory notes and solutions of the exercises. Exercises are suitable for in-class examples or homework assignments. Most are for introductory college chemistry courses; some are suitable for more or less advanced courses.
