Books by Jr. Workman

Delineates practical, tested, general methods for ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrometry. This work covers spectrometry of materials, ceramics, and textiles. It includes topics such as: practical aspects of spectrometers and spectrometry; sample preparation; chemometrics and calibration practices; reflectance measurements; and more.

Interpretive spectroscopy provides a basis for the establishment of cause-and-effect relationships between spectrometer response and the chemical properties of the samples. Without established cause-effect relationships, the measured data will have no true predictive significance. This interpretive process is key for achieving an analytical understanding of the measurement. The popular first edition of this text delivered a unique focus on structure correlation and interpretation of spectra for the practitioner. The thoroughly updated and revised second edition continues the tradition and includes a full library of color spectra in a larger format to ensure clarity and reader comprehension.

Intends to bridge the gap between the average chemist/spectroscopist and the study of statistics. This book introduces the novice reader to the ideas and concepts of statistics and uses spectroscopic examples to show how these concepts are applied. It serves as a primer for all chemists who need to know more about statistical analysis.
