More Description

Modern Analytical Chemistry: an Application-based Approach to Student Learning provides a modern introduction and practical guide to analytical chemistry and quantitative methods of analysis. By presenting basic principles together with real applications and case studies in the field of analytical chemistry, students will be able to fully comprehend the power of analytical chemistry in explaining complex chemical problems and chemically-related concepts. Unique to this book will be the addition of modern chemometric methods of analysis, current trends in instrumentation (including coupled techniques) and discussions on field-based approaches (including sampling, sample handling and field-based analysis) to analytical chemistry. Each chapter will have problem-oriented exercises (with examples throughout the body of the chapter) that stress the important concepts covered and research applications from the author's own work and from other experts in the field. These applications will be directly tied to important theoretical concepts covered in the chapter. Overall, this text provides a valuable tool for student learning and covers the rapidly developing world of analytical chemistry from a modern, research active perspective.

UNIQUE FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Feature Benefits
End of chapter problems on topics covered, example problems (with solutions) within the chapter. ? A must have for Students to gage their understanding of Major Concepts.
Case studies/applications highlighting a specific topic in relation to modern research efforts a major innovation in the textbook allowing students and faculty to apply concepts in real world applications. ? This feature is unique to Analytical chemistry textbooks
? Creates active learning rather than passive as in a typical textbook.

Each chapter replete with informative example demonstrations, diagrams, figures and tables to correspond with relevant text. ? Figures will help illustrate difficult concepts with visual cues to aid in the total comprehension of the presented material.

Expanded data-sets for the research applications will also be provided in the solutions manual. ? Providing students with new problems that are out of context of the chapter to test major concept understanding.
? Extra problems can be used as homework as graded material or for ?extra credit?
Excel exercises will be used throughout the text providing a step by step understanding of modeling in the text. ? Students will be able to use the samples to create their own data sets for self or directed study
? Prepares students to use Excel in real world analytical chemistry problem solving
Boxed-sections will be inserted throughout the text to highlight and/or demonstrate key principles and concepts.
? A pedagogical feature that directs students to ?must know? information within the text
