Professor Dave Explains

Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.

I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.

This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

    How to Make Black Holes (Both Regular and Supermassive)

    We've learned about the lifetime of stars, and we saw that very high mass stars will leave behind a black hole when they die. What else can we say about black holes? Is there any other way to make a black hole besides waiting for a huge star to die? Let's learn all about these mysterious things!

    Solving Higher-Degree Polynomials by Synthetic Division and the Rational Roots Test

    By now we are experts at solving quadratics by a number of different strategies. But what about cubics? And quartics? And quintics? Seems pretty daunting, but believe it or not there is a reliable method to solve these higher degree polynomials as well. It's a little more time-consuming, but it can be done! Check it out.

    Calling All Scientists!

    Anti-science sentiment is taking hold of the public in a way we've never seen before. More and more people distrust any scientist because of propaganda that tells them to do so. How do we combat this? Of course we can dissect the propaganda and show people how it is deceptive. But we also have to rehabilitate public perception of the scientific community. That's where all you scientists come in! Do you want to show the world who you are, what you do, and why it's important? Submit a profile piece for my "Get to Know a Scientist" series!

    Lattice Structures in Ionic Solids

    We've learned a lot about covalent compounds, but we haven't talked quite as much about ionic compounds in their solid state. These will adopt a highly ordered and repeating lattice structure, but the geometry of the lattice depends entirely on the types of ions and their ratio in the chemical formula. What kinds of lattices can they make? Let's find out! Want to play around with ChemDoodle 3D?
