Throughoutֲ my nearly fifty years in academic life, first as a teaching assistant and then as a faculty member, ֲ I have taught a variety ofֲ courses to numerous, both undergraduate and graduate students. Most of my teaching took place at the Hebrew University, but I have also taught at UCLA and the Weizmann Institute. Among the taught are:ֲ "Introduction to chemical bonding", "Symmetry in chemistry", "Molecular kinetics", "Lasers in chemistry", "Complex fluids and Self-assembly", and "Intermolecular forces". Yet, my favorite and by far most frequent teaching topics were ֲ Classical and/or Statistical Thermodynamics, delivered at ֲ different levels of depth and breadth to either undergraduate or gradute students. Encouraged by former students, I began writing an intermediate level book combining classical and statistical thermodynamics, with emphasis on the molecular underpinnings ֲ of the thermodynamicֲ theory, in the spirit of my teaching these topics. ֲ Its preface is attached. ֲ Also attached here is a short summary of "van der Waals forces" given to students in a class that I was teaching in 2014-2017 ֲ (as a part of an introductory statistaical thermodynamics course to all chemistry graduate students).

Hopefully this part of my home page will become more comprehensive and intersting in the foreseeable future.ֲ  ֲ
