reason. Most engineering systems are made of solids. For example, what kinds of topics are in 3.091 that otherwise you might not expect to find in a first year general chemistry class? Well, we talk about structure of solids, crystal structure and the characterization of crystal structure by x-ray diffraction. So generation of x-rays, the use of x-rays in determining the long-range order or lack thereof in a solid. We look at metals, we look at ionic solids. We look at them amorphous solids ...
