It seems like Professor Petersen understands the math, but he can't seem to be able to explain it to the students. If you look at his background, he looks more like a chemistry guy than a math guy. It's a shame NIC has him teaching math when it's obviously not his forte.

Professor Petersen was nice, however he didn't know how to speak to his undergraduate students, which resulted in everyone being confused at times. It felt like he was presenting to his peer audience, rather than his students who didn't know the material yet.

    Proton Solvation and Transport in Aqueous and Biomolecular Systems:  Insights from Computer Simulations

    ABSTRACT: The excess proton in aqueous media plays a pivotal role in many fundamental chemical (e.g.

    acid−base chemistry) and biological (e.g.

    bioenergetics and enzyme catalysis) processes. Understanding the hydrated proton is

    therefore

    crucial for chemistry

    biology

    and materials sciences. Although well studied for over 200 years

    excess proton solvation and transport remains to this day mysterious

    surprising

    and perhaps even misunderstood. In this feature article

    various efforts to address this problem through computer modeling and simulation will be described. Applications of computer simulations to a number of important and interesting systems will be presented

    highlighting the roles of charge delocalization and Grotthuss shuttling

    a phenomenon unique in many ways to the excess proton in water.
