Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The life and environment in nature are all made of molecules so that unveiling their structures and mutual interaction is important to understand how the nature flows. Understanding the flow of nature can be approached from both micro- and macroscopic aspects. In this class, you can learn how to deliberate on such aspects and processes through the lectures and discussion.
