• Resumen

  • This commentary presents an unconventional view of analytical chemistry as seen through the prism of �name concepts�. First, I provide examples of various analytical methods and phenomena that are referred to by the names of their inventors/discoverers. Second, I suggest that emphasizing name concepts in the analytical chemistry course syllabus can augment student engagement in learning new terms and methods, and it can highlight the problem-solution approach in the field of analytical chemistry
