The Origins course tracks the origin of all things – from the Big Bang to the origin of the Solar System and the Earth. The course follows the evolution of life on our planet through deep geological time to present life forms.

This course will cover the topics of a full year, two semester General Chemistry course. We will use a free on-line textbook, Concept Development Studies in Chemistry, available via Rice’s Connexions project. The fundamental concepts in the course will be introduced via the Concept Development Approach developed [...]

Are you interested in learning how to program (in Python) within a scientific setting? This course will cover algorithms for solving various biological problems along with a handful of programming challenges helping you implement these algorithms in Python.

This course is designed to cover subjects in advanced high school chemistry courses, correlating to the standard topics as established by the American Chemical Society. This course is a precursor to the Advanced Chemistry Coursera course. Areas that are covered include atomic structure, periodic trends, compounds, reactions and stoichiometry, [...]

The course “Methods of molecular biology” is the first course developed by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University (KazNU) in collaboration and kind support of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Molecular biology is one of the most interesting sciences, in which new discoveries are made every day. Initially arising [...]

Learn the fundamentals of chemistry and energy on a molecular and a global scale in this introductory chemistry course that engages scientific principles with the global context of advancing technology in energy, climate, and pathways to the future.

This is a course that will cover several unconventional computational methods and theories, such as quantum computation, DNA and molecular computation, genetic algorithms, and cellular automata.

Molecular biology studies the molecular mechanisms of life, particularly those responsible for genes and their expression. In the center of molecular biology are the nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, and how they contribute to the synthesis of proteins.

This course is intended for the student interested in understanding and appreciating common biological topics in the study of the smallest units within biology: molecules and cells.
