Air Particle Measurement

Work at the biology bench requires an ever-increasing knowledge of mathematical methods and formulae. In Lab Math, Dany Spencer Adams has compiled the most common mathematical concepts and methods in molecular biology, and provided clear, straightforward guidance on their application to research investigations. Subjects range from basics such as scientific notation and measuring and making solutions, to more complex activities like quantifying and designing nucleic acids and analyzing protein activity. Tips on how to present mathematical data and statistical analysis are included. A reference section features useful tables, conversion charts and "plug and chug" equations for experimental procedures. This volume is an excellent, structured source of information that in many laboratories is often scattered and informally organized.

Review Lab Math will certainly save time researchers might otherwise spend explaining how to find reference tables, make measurements, do laboratory calculations, make solutions, work with proteins and nucleotide calculations, or perform basic statistics to undergraduates, graduate students, or visiting fellows. --The Quarterly Review of Biology

Most helpful customer reviews 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Definitely worth having By Stella PhD This is a great book. I use it mostly to look up techniques while I'm working (certain pages are well dog-eared), but when I've read more, I've found it very helpful. I wish I'd had it when I was a student. Teachers should also find it really useful for helping students get the math refresher they usually need for college science classes. There are a couple of errors - you can download the corrections from the publishers website (where it says the mistakes are only in the first printing) - but in a book like this that's hard to avoid, and there are actually very few. Most of the book is really terrific, and surprisingly entertaining, especially the cartoons. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Well worth it By A. Picchini This book has the answers to all the math stuff you didn't pay attention to in intro chemistry and don't want to ask those more senior to you. I am currently working toward my PhD, and I use it daily at the bench. 9 of 11 people found the following review helpful. An excellent book for everyone! By P. R. Oprysko If you're a new researcher or have been doing it forever, this book is excellent. I have been a bench scientist for seven years now, and have found this book highly useful. The picture on the cover was indeed my desk and lab-space until I got this book in hand. Definitely worth it, and make sure your fellow lab-mates don't try to permanently adopt it!
