Abstract
Student success in both general chemistry and upper-level chemistry courses requires the application of previously learned skills for carrying out calculations in exercises and problem solving. Students with weaknesses in mathematics often struggle in their chemistry courses. The Fall 2017 ConfChem conference, Mathematics in Undergraduate Chemistry Instruction, was held from October 26 through November 27, 2017, and contained eight papers that discussed a variety of approaches developed by instructors to facilitate student success with using mathematics in their chemistry courses. This report provides an introduction to the ConfChem 2017 conference and invites readers to participate in future discussions about how chemistry faculty members can empower student success with the mathematical skills needed for their chemistry courses.
