About the Book

Twenty-First Century Advanced Chemistry has been written for those who seek a higher level of understanding of the general principles or fundamentals covered in a first year level chemistry course. The material covers topics from general chemistry and portions of organic chemistry at a higher level. A strong background in algebra is needed to understand the mathematical equations presented in this book. The goal of sharing such valuable information is to continue to inspire those who seek to contribute to the field of sciences. Topics in science can change or evolve over time with new discoveries being published in journal articles. If we are going to continue the journey to such important ideas, then we need to have a firm grasp of the fundamentals. Twenty-five chapters are included in this book with new chapters or perhaps partially covered in a first year chemistry course. These include chapters on earth’s chemistry, chemistry of art, and cosmetic chemistry. The three chapters were included so we can have a better understanding about the chemistry that takes place on our precious planet, a background understanding of art since we are so much attracted to the visual world, and important information for those who purchase and use cosmetics to take care of themselves. The material in this book can change over time, but it is more likely the fundamentals will remain the same. I invite you to explore how great chemistry is as a science and its impact on how it has improved and will continue to improve the quality of our lives for the future.


About the Author

Harminder Gill did his undergraduate studies at the University of California, Riverside, where he finished his bachelor’s of science degree in biological chemistry with an emphasis in chemistry. After completing his undergraduate studies, he attended graduate school at the University of California, Davis, where he finished his masters degree in organic chemistry. After doing several teaching assignments, he went into the teaching profession at community colleges. He was an adjunct professor in chemistry at many community colleges in Southern California. He became a life member for both the alumni associations at UCR and UCD. He has done homeschooling throughout communities where he offers at least fifty different academic subjects for tutoring to his students. Plenty of his past students have done exceptionally well, including those who have achieved high scores on standardized tests, getting accepted to training academies, universities, and programs of their choice. He has served on the board of directors as treasurer for an art association, and he has completed the Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) in the Toastmasters Program for Public Speaking and Leadership. He does his best to keep current in the math, sciences, and technology.
