FRS 380 - Chemistry and Physics in Forensics

3 Credits

To analyze many crimes, one needs to have a good understanding of both chemistry and physics. Students will learn about the fundamentals of organic and inorganic chemistry (titration, precipitation, colorimetric tests) and apply them to forensic uses. Students will also apply the basic physical principles (one-dimensional and two-dimensional analysis, kinematics, motion and gravitation, work and energy, momentum, rotational motion, solids and fluids, and heat and thermodynamics).
Prerequisites: CHM 115 and PHY 115, CRJ 180, MAT 130 or permission of the Academic Department.
