This book is aimed at the large number of people who need to use chemometrics but do not wish to understand complex mathematics, therefore it offers a comprehensive examination of the field of chemometrics without overwhelming the reader with complex mathematics.

* Includes five chapters that cover the basic principles of chemometrics analysis.
* Provides two chapters on the use of Excel and MATLAB for chemometrics analysis.
* Contains 70 worked problems so that readers can gain a practical understanding of the use of chemometrics.

From the Back Cover

The emphasis of this book is on understanding the principles and applications behind the main ideas in chemometrics, which can then be applied to a wide variety of problems in chemistry, chemical engineering and allied disciplines. The chapters cover experimental design, signal processing, pattern recognition, calibration and evolutionary data. The text is based around extensive work examples based primarily on the author's experience of more than a decade in chemometrics research and education both with university students and industrialists. In addition, the problems at the end of each chapter cover a wide range of applications to illustrate the broad applicability of these methods in different fields: these form an important part of the text, being a mixture of real case studies and simulations which are ideal for coursework or self study. For each of these 54 problems, the relevant sections of the text that provide further information are referenced. Appendices on matrix algebra, basic statistical concepts, common algorithms, Excel and MATLAB complete the book.

Readers may approach this book with different levels of knowledge and expectations. All calculations, graphs and answers to the worked examples and problems may be produced either in Excel or MATLAB or in most chemometrics packages according to the experience of the reader. Datasets and extensive worked solutions to the problems, together with downloadable Excel macros and a comprehensive set of MATLAB procedures corresponding to the methods presented in the text are available on www.SpectroscopyNow.com. The numerical answers have been very carefully validated and have been extensively tested in student seminars.

Store Description

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
