Book Description

Work at the biology bench requires an ever-increasing knowledge of mathematical methods and formulae. In Lab Math, Dany Spencer Adams has compiled the most common mathematical concepts and methods in molecular biology, and provided clear, straightforward guidance on their application to research investigations. Subjects range from basics such as scientific notation and measuring and making solutions, to more complex activities like quantifying and designing nucleic acids and analyzing protein activity. Tips on how to present mathematical data and statistical analysis are included. A reference section features useful tables, conversion charts and ìplug and chugî equations for experimental procedures. This volume is an excellent, structured source of information that in many laboratories is often scattered and informally organized.

Upside down.......2006-07-04

A colleague has this book so I had seen the content. Mostly pretty useful, too bad it was upside down. The book is spiral with a hard cover, the spiral part was inserted upside down. I assume no pages are missing. Too annoying to return it to Amazaon, 50$+. Won't happen again. This is the first time I've ever had a problem, serious or otherwise, from Amazon.

Well worth it.......2006-04-07

This book has the answers to all the math stuff you didn't pay attention to in intro chemistry and don't want to ask those more senior to you. I am currently working toward my PhD, and I use it daily at the bench.

An excellent book for everyone!.......2005-08-02

If you're a new researcher or have been doing it forever, this book is excellent. I have been a bench scientist for seven years now, and have found this book highly useful. The picture on the cover was indeed my desk and lab-space until I got this book in hand. Definitely worth it, and make sure your fellow lab-mates don't try to permanently adopt it!

Definitely worth having.......2003-12-13

This is a great book. I use it mostly to look up techniques while I'm working (certain pages are well dog-eared), but when I've read more, I've found it very helpful. I wish I'd had it when I was a student. Teachers should also find it really useful for helping students get the math refresher they usually need for college science classes. There are a couple of errors - you can download the corrections from the publishers website (where it says the mistakes are only in the first printing) - but in a book like this that's hard to avoid, and there are actually very few. Most of the book is really terrific, and surprisingly entertaining, especially the cartoons.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent overview.......2007-08-13

I was very pleased with this purchase. Reis gives a great overview of academia and the US university system. He make lots of points I hadn't thought of as well as some very sage comments on how education should be approached. The main drawback of the book is that it is a little outdated - for example he suggests the new idea of looking for job postings on a thing called the World Wide Web!

Obfuscated text, with an orotund tone.......2007-05-13

I was extremely disappointed with this book. The auther attempts to appear clever and sly, but ends up sounding verbose and grandiloquent. Blast!

A very helpful book !.......2007-01-22

This is an excellent book. I used it extensively as I prepared to apply for a faculty position in a science department. I strongly recommend it to anyone who would want to become a university professor in the future.

Excellent for any Ph.D. candidate in engineering.......2007-01-09

This is an excellent overview of Ph.D. program goals, career options for Ph.D.s, and job search strategies. There's even a section on what to do in your early career on the tenure track. I'm in a position that gives me particular knowledge of the process, and still, this book is extremely useful. It provides multiple perspectives on the profession and addresses not only high-end research universities, but also liberal arts colleges with science programs and everything in-between.

Does not say anything new.......2004-07-03

The book is designed as a guide for graduate students, post-docs, and non-tenured faculty looking for careers in academic science and engineering.

The book has four parts: the first gives an exposition of the world of academia, the second discusses preparation for academic careers for graduate students and post-docs, the third discusses strategies for looking for and applying to academic positions, and the fourth discusses life as junior faculty and the tenure application process.

While the book is well-written and well-organized, it does not provide any helpful information or insight. All information in the book should be well-known to any graduate student or post-doc who is even slightly serious about a career in academic science and engineering.

For example, every graduate student and post-doc should know full well that teaching experience and grant-writing skills are indispensable when applying for an academic position. Every non-tenured faculty should know what tenure is all about and what is necessary in order to achieve it. The book discusses these issues as if these are helpful pointers for success in academia.

Good but not as good as the handbook.......2007-06-27

I have both the calculations book by Brian McPartland and the NEC Handbook by Brian and his dad Joe. I prefer the handbook more, although you may want both. My problem with this book is that it was not proofed adequately for math errors and typos. I have found at least four computational errors in the examples.
I am not to impressed with this book because it does not take you too far beyond the examples already in the NEC or beyond the obvious. The explainations of why they are computing things the way they are (logic behind the computations) are all explained in the Handbook. Many of the examples are merely duplications of the handbook examples. If you want one good book, buy the Handbook. Don't waste money on the NEC handbooks published by NFPA. They merely waste space by quoting the NEC with some useless comments thrown in. McPartland is the only guy who has ever written a handbook worth having that goes in depth as to why the code is the way it is.

Poor Explanations, Nothing You Can't Get Elsewhere.......2006-01-07

I bought this book in 2000 because I was going back into consulting and needed to augment my quick-reference books. Contractors are paid by the hour! This book helped me solved exactly one problem. I did not write an editorial then because I hoped I would find out that I was wrong in my initial assessment. Everything else I could solve using various chemical engineering PE preparation material. This is stuff I either collected and condensed or got from other text. If you want a better choice refer to Randall Robinson's "Chemical Engineering Reference Manual." My main complaint about this book, besides that it digs deeper ruts in a well-worn trail is that the explanations are missing steps. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Post Script
Other choices for the consulting chemical engineer include: Hicks, "Handbook of Engineering Calculations;" Coulson and Richardson's "Chemical Engineering Design, vol. 6;" Ludwig's series "Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants," Stanley Walas's "Chemical Process Equipment, Selection and Design," and, Schweitzer's "Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers." Schweitzer has gotten quite expensive at $300 but I have an earlier edition and I doubt if it has been upgraded much. The Ludwig series is very expensive and not commendable to quick calculations. Coulson is useful for its short comparisons of unit operation methods while Hicks is good for everyday calculations. Walas is a good reference but its detail falls somewhat short, between Hicks and Ludwig. There are other books that may be useful but you will probably find, as I have, that it is a hit and miss proposition.

If this review was helpful, please add your vote -- Thanks.

Watch Out.......2005-10-16

The Redlich-Kwong equation given specific for pressure given in this text is in error. It should be:

P=(RT/(V-b))-(a/((Tr^.5)*V*(V+b)))

The procedure given for calculating specific volume is accurate as far as I know and I've been told that it is. The original equation of state is not stated correctly though which would affect a simple calculation for pressure such as in a pressure vessel given temperature and density of enclosed gas.

Nice step-by-step examples for various calculations.......2000-06-09

As a chemical engineer, this book rates up there with Perry's on value of information. Chopey does a very nice job of including detailed step-by-step calculations for a multitude of subjects. The many examples are very relevant to the text and provide good insight to the calculation process. The book is very well organized and easy to use.

Book Description

The Illustrated Wavelet Transform Handbook: Introductory Theory and Applications in Science, Engineering, Medicine and Finance provides an overview of the theory and practical applications of wavelet transform methods. The author uses several hundred illustrations, some in color, to convey mathematical concepts and the results of applications. The first chapter presents a brief overview of the wavelet transform, including a short history. The remainder of the book is split into two parts: the first part discusses the mathematics of both discrete and continuous wavelet transforms while the second part deals with applications in a variety of subject areas, such as geophysics, medicine, fluid turbulence, engineering testing, speech and sound analysis, image analysis, and data compression. These application chapters make the reader aware of the similarities that exist in the use of wavelet transform analysis across disciplines. A comprehensive list of more than 700 references provides a valuable resource for further study. The book is designed specifically for the applied reader in science, engineering, medicine, finance, or any other of the growing number of application areas. Newcomers to the subject will find an accessible and clear account of the theory of continuous and discrete wavelet transforms, providing a large number of examples of their use across a wide range of disciplines. Readers already acquainted with wavelets can use the book to broaden their perspective.

An excellent and informative book.......2003-09-26

This book provides a comprehensive overview of wavelet transform methodologies and applications. The emphasis is on practical applications which are illustrated with many detailed figures and examples from Science and Engineering. A particular interesting chapter on medical applications is provided. In the introductory chapters, Addison gives a clear account of the theory for both continuous and discrete wavelet transform and associated post-processing techniques. Unlike many of the other books in this area, Addison communicates the concepts with a level of detail, sufficient for the applied engineer and scientist, but without becoming bogged down in a fog of mathematical gymnastics (a feature of many of the books in this area). A welcome addition to the growing number of books on this important signal analysis technique.

This Handbook has quite a lot of more formal math in it.

Rade and Westergren's modern Handbook is more useful for finding the engineering equations you need, without all the formal stuff.

I find both useful in different ways.

The worlds best mathematical handbook.......2007-01-27

I have been using Korn and Korn for over 20 years, and have gone through two hardback editions, before buying the paperback one for my son who is studying electrical engineering. I would not have bought him anything else, because Korn^2 is the MOST complete mathematical reference book I have ever seen. It is infinitely more useable than Bronshtein and Semendyayev, and if you want to have one reference book Korn^2 should be your choice.

Great Mathematical Reference.......2007-01-09

Hats off to Dover: you simply will not find a better mathematical reference with the depth and breath of topics addressed for the money. While there may be more prestegious mathematical reference books (Von Nostrand, CRC) but expect to pay at least $100 or more for them.

an MBA student says:.......2002-07-17

I've been searching for a math reference book to use while pursuing an MBA. Much of the math that is used in the classes I'm taking is relatively simple and was more then adequately covered by my undergraduate education. But it has been all been forgotten long ago. This book fits the bill.

Pros: Have been able to find everything I've needed quickly. (Chain rule, logarithms, conditional probability, general solution to quadratic equations.) The explanations are terse but clear.

Cons: Crowed typography, could have used more margins, maybe a choice that was made for this reprint. Sections are number x.y-z, makes it hard to notice when the index refers to a range: x.y-za-zb. The index doesn't always lead directly to the desired section, for instance there is no entry for chain rule, but differentiation takes you right there.

Unfortunately, I'm already through most of the classes where I could have made good use of this book, but for those starting out, this might be a handy reference.

an engineer says: thanks korn and korn.......2001-07-26

over a period of thirty-plus years, i've benefited countless times from this dizzyingly broad and accurate handbook. it must be seen in that light: handbook. but, as such, there is simply no competition, at least for the engineer doing mathematical evaluations or predicting performance. i myself even find it enjoyable to just read in it. also to remember: it is not a compendium of computer-based techniques; indeed, it is a handbook of actual mathematics. i appreciate this small forum as an opportunity to say: Thanks, K&K.
