Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Uses mathematical and statistical techniques to extract trends from chemical analysis. Introduces scientists to powerful new tools that will allow them to obtain massive amounts of data from computer-controlled instrumentation and then extract the information they need. Chapter sequence leads the reader through a sample analysis to resolution and pattern recognition. First introductory text on the relatively new field.
"A Wiley-Interscience publication."

CHOICE Review
This book would be a very good addition to an undergraduate library, as it provides a nice introduction and overview of this large and growing field. The subject is chemometrics-a new branch of chemistry involving applications of a broad range of mathematical and computational techniques in chemistry. The goal of chemometrics is to use these various techniques to improve the quality of data obtained from experiments, to guide the experimenter to the best choice of experimental conditions for a given experiment, and to extract useful information from large quantities of seemingly unrelated data. The methods include data smoothing, optimization methods, pattern recognition, and cluster analysis. This is a relatively short book that classifies the many techniques used in chemometrics, describes each briefly, and shows how they can be used in problem-solving. The descriptions are brief, although examples are given for the more important ones. Readers could not use one of these methods on the basis of the limited information given, but references are given for further reading on each method. There is no comparable book available.-A.
