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

[azngaiaboi]

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

" 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

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

@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..?)

@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.

@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

@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 !!

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

[josehazi]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE LECTURE NOTES?

[euch27]

he's kind of happy there
