About this book
Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry are usually presented as a sum of chemical and physical foundations, laws, axioms and equations for analytical methods and procedures. In contrast, this book delivers a practice-oriented, general guiding theory valid for all methods and techniques. Starting with a closer look to analytical signals and their dependencies, all the important figures of merit characterizing the power of analytical procedures and the reliability of analytical results are discussed and quantified, such as sensitivity, precision, accuracy and ruggedness. Elements of signal theory, information theory, statistics and fundamentals of calibration are also presented for this aim. The metrological foundations included define strictly the figures of merit in order to minimize confusions still appearing in Analytical Chemistry publications today.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is an interesting book examining analytical chemistry from the perspective of measurement and data mining/presentation. … the book would be a valuable addition to any chemist’s collection. … This is a book that could be used in a graduate course in analytical chemistry or simply as a reference for any practicing chemist charged with interpreting experimental data. … Danzer’s book has extensive referencing to both the historical and current literature for those who would like to examine topics further." (Mark R. Anderson, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 129 (31), 2007)
