Kapitel: Otto Von Bismarck Als Ehrenbürger, Friedrich Hammacher, Karl Ziegler, August Thyssen, Heinrich Thöne, Max Kölges, Paul Lembke, Peter Thielen. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Karl Waldemar Ziegler (November 26, 1898 - August 12, 1973) was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963, with Giulio Natta, for work on polymers. The Nobel Committee recognized his "excellent work on organometallic compounds ...led to new polymerization reactions and ... paved the way for new and highly useful industrial processes". He is also known for his work involving free-radicals, many-membered rings, and organometallic compounds, as well as the development of Ziegler-Natta catalyst. One of many awards Ziegler received was the Werner von Siemens Ring in 1960 jointly with Otto Bayer and Walter Reppe, for expanding the scientific knowledge of and the technical development of new synthetic materials. Karl Ziegler was born November 26, 1898 in Helsa near Kassel, Germany and was the second son of Karl Ziegler, a Lutheran minister, and Luise Rall Ziegler. He attended Kassel-Bettenhausen in elementary school. An introductory physics textbook first sparked Ziegler's interest in science. It drove him to perform experiments in his home and to read extensively beyond his high school curriculum. He was also introduced to many notable individuals through his father, including Emil Adolf von Behring, recognized for the diphtheria vaccine. His extra study and experimentation help explain why he received an award for most outstanding student in his final year at high school in Kassel, Germany. He studied at the University of Marburg and was able to omit his first two semesters of study due to his extensive background knowledge. His studies were interrupted however, as during 1918 he was deployed to the Western Front as a soldier to serve in World War I. He received his Ph.D. in 1920, studying under Karl von Auwers.

Product Description
Designed for students majoring in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences, this mathematically correct, accessible, and student-friendly introduction to applied calculus prepares students to deal with calculus topics when they are encountered in other areas. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving--rather than on mathematical theory. Most derivations and proofs are omitted except where their inclusion adds significant insight into a particular concept, and general concepts and results are usually presented only after particular cases have been discussed. ...

Very good
The book was delivered in a timely manner. The book was in great condition eventhough it was a used one, and the price was simply perfect.

Get this Calculus text!
This is just the kind of Calculus textbook for business students.It is clearly explained and illustrated with many examples.There are many application exapmles with worked solutions and plenty of exercises to practise.

I used to hate calculus until I got my hands on this book.Its a piece of good work for maths idiots like me! ... Read more

Product Description
The Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen/Sobecki College Algebra series is designed to give students a solid grounding in pre-calculus topics in a user-friendly manner. The series emphasizes computational skills, ideas, and problem solving rather than theory. Explore/Discuss boxes integrated throughout each text encourage students to think critically about mathematical concepts. All worked examples are followed by Matched Problems that reinforce the concepts being taught. New to these editions, Technology Connections illustrate how concepts that were previously explained in an algebraic context may also be solved using a graphing calculator. Students are always shown the underlying algebraic methods first so that they do not become calculator-dependent. In addition, each text in the series contains an abundance of exercises - including numerous calculator-based and reasoning and writing exercises - and a wide variety of real-world applications illustrating how math is useful. ...

shipped fast
the binding was a little more torn than i expected but overall it was a good purchase and it shipped extremely fast A+

Buying experience of College Mathematics For Business, Economics, Life
The book came in a brown paper envelop. The book was listed as the new condition. But I found two detached pages in the book including the wrinkled corner. Overall I am OK with this buying experience. I wanted to point out that you should not try to send any email to the seller as this seller would not answer any of your email.

Excellent Condition
My first purchase online and it was excellent. This book was in excellent condition, like brand new with a CD.
I was very pleased with this purchase.

Like a telephone book
I was very dissappointed in this math textbook. I purchased it full price from the university, because they didn't have any used copies, and regretted it. It's basically like a telephone book of math information. You look something up, there's a short entry, and then tons and tons of problems. It contains everything, but the writing style is very dense, like they are trying to cram everything in. Its supposedly for applications oriented work, but I actually find more "theoretical" textbooks to have better and more well-described applications. A lot of the applications are just problems to solve that I question the real world relevance of. Bottom line, if you take a class that requires this book, I'd try to get a used copy or share a copy with some classmates, xerox the problem sets required for your homeworks, and get some other calculus textbooks to study from (one that I think is very interesting, if underutilized, is "Calculus In Context". Also take good notes in class and make sure you know the topics that are covered, so you can learn them somewhere else. Finally, unlike the previous reviewer, I do not hope the authors get cancer, but I do hope universities start carrying other textbooks instead of this one.

OUCH!
It assumes that you know a lot about math already so it does _not_ contain step by step.Mostly it just says "Here, this is the problem and this is the answer".How you get from point 'A' to point 'B' is a total mystery.

Bottom line, if the instructor had known that the book was this bad, he would have changed it to something better so that we could actually go through more stuff then we did. ... Read more

Hard to follow
I am a secondary education mathematic major and found this book to be horrible. I enjoy math and this book really made me question what I thought I knew. Of course, the prof I had wasn't that great either. If considering this book....pleae reconsider and go with one by Larson. If you're a student, you have no choice.....I'd get Precalculus Demystified by Rhonda Huettenmueller to supplement this. If you have to use it.....good luck!

Fast with book in great condition.Thank You.
