This lecture begins a series describing the development of organic chemistry in chronological order, beginning with the father of modern chemistry, Lavoisier. The focus is to understand the logic of the development of modern theory, technique and nomenclature so as to use them more effectively. Chemistry begins before Lavoisier's "Chemical Revolution," with the practice of ancient technology and alchemy, and with discoveries like those of ...more

Professor Kleiner features the architecture of Augustus' successors, the Julio-Claudian emperors, whose dynasty lasted half a century (A.D. 14-68). She first presents Tiberius' magnificent Villa Jovis on the Island of Capri and an underground basilica in Rome used by members of a secret Neo-Pythagorean cult. She then turns to the eccentric architecture of Claudius, a return to masonry building techniques and a unique combination of finishe...more

According to Musk, some causes of the high costs in space exploration are: The energy to launch a rocket into space is very high, all the calculations have to be right and this is very expensive given the low launch rate. His final analysis is that rockets should be a lot cheaper and presently there are a lot of inefficiencies.

Professor Kleiner discusses the development of Third Style Roman wall painting in late first century B.C. villas belonging to the imperial family and other elite patrons. Third Style painting, as Professor Kleiner demonstrates, is characterized by departure from the perspectival vistas and panoramas of the Second Style toward an attenuation of architectural elements and a respect for the inherent flatness of the wall. The Third Style remai...more

After a discussion of electrochemical cells, Professor Sylvia Ceyer defines the points of oxidation and reduction in a battery as the anode and cathode, respectively. She discusses the application of Faraday's Law and its relationship to electrochemical cells. Finally, the relationship between cell potential and Gibbs free energy is highlighted.

March 4, 2009, Richard Morse states that coal is the largest growing source of energy and that regulation and policy are beginning to play a larger role in the economy of coal power. Morse also discusses the heavy reliance on coal by developing countries and the need to understand and evaluate all mitigation options.

Komisar believes there is evidence of new bubbles occurring in certain industries today, specifically in Web 2.0. The good news is that there are also many other industries, such as those in energy, life sciences, and healthcare, where bubbles are absent. He also gives advice on whether companies should seek institutional financing or professional investments.

March 30, 2009 - Leonard Susskind discusses the study of statistical analysis as calculating the probability of things subject to the constraints of a conserved quantity. Susskind introduces energy, entropy, temperature, and phase states as they relate directly to statistical mechanics.

Waves are discussed in further detail. Basic properties of the waves such as velocity, energy, intensity, and frequency are discussed through a variety of examples. The second half of the lecture deals specifically with superposition of waves. Constructive and destructive interferences are defined and discussed.
