Lec 6 | MIT 3.091 Introduction to Solid State Chemistry

[JeanEmanuel]

" What do we care about what Einstein said??? " Ahahahah i love that part!

[weyrauch]

I rarely had a professor who was this enthusiastic about his subject - they either stood motionlessly next to a Power Point projection waving their laser pointer and lulling the students with their jabbering or covered the blackboard with crap without providing any real explanations what is going on there...more Sadoways for the academic world! :D

[Marcuscangussu13]

Great class, one of the quantum chemistry introduction i've ever had.

[josehazi]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE LECTURE NOTES?

[mekaush]

@josehazi

yup.visit ocw.mit.edu and search for this lecture series in chemistry and you'll find the transcripts of the lecture and the powerpoint slides available for download.It'll help in understanding the lecs better.hope this helps.cheers and happy studying !!

[josehazi]

@mekaush

Thanks a lot! This year I have been offered a place at Oxford to read Materials Science (I am not UK) but they want me to have quite good financial resources so I am now considering Manchester and Imperial, I would get even some money from Manchester and a year of work experience... just cant decide

Nontheless MIT was always my dream, pity its so far from Europe

[mekaush]

@josehazi

You shouldn't really let go of an opportunity to study at Oxford..They have some incredible funding.Try getting in touch with them and go through the various scholarships available.I'm sure they'll help you out if they have gone through the trouble of reviewing an application and giving you an admit..A degree from Oxford might make you pay now but in the long run you'll definitely earn much more than you pay..And materials is one of the hottest topics right now.

[josehazi]

@mekaush

You are probably right.. Thats what most people are saying.. However isnt Manchester or Imperial better in Materials than Oxford? (eg the department in Manchester is bigger and there are more branches of Materials Science, and maybe even connection with firms can be better since its larger city..?)

[mekaush]

@josehazi

Dunno bout that,but don't go by the size.Even if the dept. at Oxford is smaller,the quality of researchers will be of a very high standard with some well known names,Their publications and their collaborations would be in a different league.Chk their research pages and you'll get an idea bout this.Or else Imperials again a highly ranked school.Chk ol for some comparisons.Have you thought of Germany?Amazing work and big names there too.Google DAAD

[euch27]

he's kind of happy there

[yoyaya007]

the luckiest and best students are those who got accepted in MIT!

[seysanmar]

Damn he writes fast!

[azngaiaboi]

wish my AP chem class in high school can go this fast ._.

[Deadline15904]

lol 33:00 - 36:00 we do that in 13th form in our physics special class in germany

[Psychentist]

I just wish I didn't have to look up every other visual aid on google to see them. Seriously, if MIT is trying to protect an investment or something by omitting them, then they should realize that they are all available elsewhere on the net. Why introduce further difficulty in an already difficult subject? I thought they were trying to help, not confound the issue by omitting relevant data. Please see lecture notes for details.

[defjam99b]

Click the link over on the right-hand side (under more info), to go to the course website.

There you will find all sorts of useful additional information, including a pdf of the slides for each lecture, with I think, most of the visual aids and graphics that were excluded (probably for copyright reasons) from the videos.

I'd guess they can show copyrighted material in class, but are on trickier legal ground redistributing other peoples copyright on youtube.

[Psychentist]

Thank you!

[barry123www]

They do a lot better than Yale. In those videos you can't even see the chalkboard.

[TheDaveyht3]

I was wondering the same and there are 2 ans to your question 1 some of the material does not belong to MIT and in a 2nd notion the screen does not show up well on that particular projector for the camera to see. i too am sick of looking these notes up elsewhere.

[Psychentist]

Interesting points. You're probably right. Someone also told me you can look the notes up in the links in the more info section.

[TheMandrille]

Oh my god what a huge mistake he is writing at 46 minutes and 16 seconds. Did no one see it? The equation is good the solution is way not.

[kongo99]

The solution is good. Check that in any physics book. Lifszyc for example.

[TheMandrille]

Yeah sure and what do you of the notion of time?

[kongo99]

I am Polish, I just watch it for fun, and curiosity. I do not track every comment.

[TheMandrille]

i m french and it doesn t change anything to it ; i m glad you take pleasure as i am in watching this great course.

[samgee2007]

you guys must understand that chemistry theory was known to muslim scholars before the christians .

[MajorUtah]

Samagee2007.. (BELOW)

Really...Come On....

Really......All you guys are doing with these desperate quids.. is falsely attesting to the ignorance of your race..

You guys are NOT this pathetic.. you can't be..

and besides, we all know that there weren't Christians before 35A.D. +/ --

And besides, the first man to walk was somewhere in Africa.. so Africans got ya beat.. now grow up.. and be mindful of how you represent your country...OK??

(*Xy' ...Major...OUT...

[Nivlac1982]

you know that they got all that from the greeks?

[hawaiifiver]

and probably to the greeks before that.

[sweetdreamz24]

-this guy is so hot.

-the actual lecture starts at 1:17

-why don't they have whiteboards? i haven't seen a chalkboard for like a decade..

[social3ngin33rin]

Chalkboards correlate average age of all the professors in the university : )

[keebearfull]

Sir, [teacher] I am inclined to believe you are a god! To cover that (all) in 50 minutes! What must be the energy needs to do that 3x/week? I stand amazed.

Let MIT charge whatever they want. But they must pay you A-Rod wages. (but that's not even funny...I know) Thanks!

[Davidmongar]

Ditto, Ashlorraine. Ditto :)

[mattbrownbill]

i hope i get a teacher half as good as this guy when i start uni next year

[Ashlorraine]

thank you SO SO SO much for this amazing lecture. I am struggling with my chem series because my professor can't teach! she's nice tho but ya....now I FINALLY understand what's going on and I was actually interested

[jacobbis4lovers]

@Ashlorraine it's not the teacher, it's you. Study OUTSIDE of class.

[Ashlorraine]

@jacobbis4lovers I disagree, having a great professor and a great lecturer definitely makes it much easier to learn the subject. I always study outside of class, but it is very helpful to have someone teach you. Mine was a physical chemist and brought a lot of excess information into the class that many of us couldn't understand yet (it was our first university course after high school). In later courses I have have been able to rely on the lectures of my professors and did great

[jacobbis4lovers]

@Ashlorraine well, welcome to college. It's not supposed to be easy.

[asiser1]

i am seeing this because my dr. that teaches me don't know how to teach ... and he is aosome tanks mit ...

[rockymanlee17]

Dang this is long...but helpful...thxs

[adnay1993]

You know what's sad? I'm in tenth grade and I'm learning this. It is very helpful

[anonymees]

That's not sad, that's awesome.

[HIMkidHIM]

I'm in tenth, too. :D

[MisterAlphabet]

Summer of freshman year, starting tenth in a month :) pwned. :D Seriously though, it's really amazing how science is advanced now, this is nearly typical high school stuff, except schrodinger's perhaps.

[HaShEoUs1]

Lovely man i dont believe i am watching the inside of mit DAMN man

[JuggyD18]

wow, such a difference between U of houston and mit. i wish he was my instructor

[mazen6]

This was really helpful before my uni exams. Thanks a lot

[FarFromEquilibrium]

awesome. Sadoway is an incredible lecturer.

[nhojmabon]

I agree, he is brilliant. Thankyou MIT and Sadoway for these excellent lectures
