More About This Title Chemometrics - Data Analysis for the Laboratoryand Chemical Plant

English

This book is aimed at the large number of people who need to use chemometrics but do not wish to understand complex mathematics, therefore it offers a comprehensive examination of the field of chemometrics without overwhelming the reader with complex mathematics.

* Includes five chapters that cover the basic principles of chemometrics analysis.
* Provides two chapters on the use of Excel and MATLAB for chemometrics analysis.
* Contains 70 worked problems so that readers can gain a practical understanding of the use of chemometrics.
