Learning Objectives
The course supplies to the student sound knowledge of the theory and treatment of the data obtained using the modern analytical techniques. Selected laboratory practices on the course topics will held.
This course will give students an overview of the modern analytical instrumental methods. The student will know the equipment available to analysts, the errors inherent in all results and statistical ways of handling those results and their errors.
This course will provide a broad understanding and “hands-on” knowledge of the advanced methods in analytical chemistry.
