摘要
Throughout the undergraduate curriculum, students utilize linearized forms of nonlinear equations-from the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in general chemistry to the Michaelis-Menten equation in biochemistry. Presenting the linearized forms of equations as a fait accompli may be a lost opportunity to empower students with understanding the general process of linearization as an analytical tool. This work describes a series of activities that can be implemented and spaced throughout the analytical chemistry curriculum. The activities are low-cost and chemical-free, so they can be implemented in a lecture setting. Distributed practice allows students to attain familiarity with linearization, and the practical guided application in class provides real experience with the otherwise abstract mathematical idea.
