Samples and Standards (Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning)

The first unit in this self-paced, self-teaching series supplies the fundamentals upon which subsequent volumes will build. Its coverage is organized around three topics: the analyst's approach, sampling, and standardization and calibration. Some of the material is quantitative and includes mathematical derivations. The text is supplemented with ``real'' examples to illustrate the application of these procedures and with self-assessment questions to test the reader's knowledge and understanding.
