Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Constant," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Constant in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Constant when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Constant, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

understanding calculus concepts
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. The underlying conceptsof calculus are explained very clearly.Forget about the cat stuff.. it is irrelevant, notdistracting.. but strange. The rest of the book is great though. Understand.. this is not a math book and will not dothe work for you. Whatit does is explain in non mathematical terms,what your math teacher is trying to explain using the opaque language required of mathematicians. read this before math class, then review applicable parts during math class and you will surely benefit.

What is Calculus???
I have done physics, statics, strength of materials, and basic circuit analysis all at the algebra level because I never knew what calculus was. This book explains what calculus is without doing the math. After reading this book I read "Who is Fourier" by College of Lex and "Calculus The Easy Way" by Douglas Downing. And finally learn what Calculus is.

The cats have succeeded
According to the authors, cats want to keep people confused about calculus, and I think that cats helped to write this book. Actually, I have been reading a lot of math and science concept books, trying to find any that really clarify the ideas, processes, and applications; technique is best learned with a good textbook. I did not find the analogies in Calculus for Cats to be particularly engaging or enlightening, but this short book does act as a primer of sorts. I would have enjoyed this book more if the authors had focused on interesting real-world examples rather than on mouse-catching examples.

Learn what your cat is really up to.
The authors make an analogy between what they are trying to accomplish in this book, with an English teacher who first lets his students hear a poem read, before analyzing it technically.This analogy holds up to a point, but not completely.In some ways, the conceptual, no pain approach to calculus presented here is more like an English teacher reading an English languge poem to a bunch of students who can't understand English.

The language of math is still, and always will be numbers.I was left wondering about too may concepts because the real work, the math, was left out in many instances.After reading this book, I went through a more mathematically oriented book oncalculus, suffered with the number crunching, and came to a better understanding of the calculus.No pain, no gain is true in this case.

I also didn't like the way the book was organized with all the chapters running together. More section breaks would have helped.

On the up side, the authors had a difficult job, and did an admirable job.I did indeed come away learning something.Part of the problem I had with this book was probably that I wasn't using it as a supplement to a normal calculus textbook in a normal calc course, but rather was using it for self-study on its own.If you are currently enrolled in a calc course or have previously taken the subject, you might feel better about this book.

Helps me keep up with my son!
In my continuing quest to always be the source of all information for my son, Calculus For Cats has saved me! As his math skills continued, I was starting to pay for sleeping through Calculus in High School. But Ken Amdahl saved me. This is a perfect book for anyone wanting to learn the concepts of Calculus ... even if you hate math and cats!

Product Description
Written in a straightforward manner, this laboratory manual for a two-semester organic chemistry course provides only the essential background material, laboratory set-ups, and procedures for each exercise. The exercises have been carefully written to minimize set-up time and eliminate the need for elaborate and expensive laboratory equipment. Laboratory techniques are emphasized rather than theoretical understanding. ... Read more

Organic Chem Lab Manual
Perfect/new condition with VERY fast shipping. Cheapest price I could find, and was significantly cheaper than elsewhere. I had the first lab, and ordered the manual that night assuming that it would not arrive before my next lab, but it did! I was very pleasantly surprised. Thanks!

an inexpensive yet effective lab book for undergraduate orga
An inexpensive, yet effective lab manual for undergraduate organic chemistry.The students do not have to buy a hard cover text, full of colors.The reagents used are cheap and, generally, available at low cost.There is great variety of experiments- some are standard syntheses, some are kinetcis, but above all there is a great qualitative analysis chapter.The techniques illustrated in the first few chapters are essential in running high yield syntheses.An excellent set of appendices with subjects like % yield, how to make solutions and how to balance a redox equation.This is a book where one learns how to do expts. without necessarily running a very expensive lab. ...
