Hey, just giving this thread a bump :bump: Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific university or course forum should help you get more responses. :yy:

If you haven’t already found it, then university connect is a really useful way for finding people at your course/university! You can also find a list of applicant threads and courses here. :h:

So if its concentration, C = A/EL

E = M-1cm-1 x cm = M-1
Move that up = M

Concentration = M
