Significant figures is really the only thing we expect ya’ll to know. Like everyone said before…we assume you have zero knowledge of chemistry whatsoever (some people actually do have no chem experience). But the class moves fast…so make sure you go!

The only evidence of calculus that you’ll see in intro chem/gen chem is Schrödinger’s wave equation, which is technically calc II or III, depending on where you go. But we just familiarize you with it, you don’t actually have to solve wave equations. All math can be done on a $5 calculator.
