Book Description
In this book, the modelling of dynamic chemical engineering processes is presented in a highly understandable way using the unique combination of simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. The mathematics is kept to a minimum, and yet the nearly 100 examples supplied on a CD-ROM illustrate almost every aspect of chemical engineering science. Each example is described in detail, including the model equations. They are written in the modern user-friendly simulation language Berkeley Madonna, which can be run on both Windows PC and Power-Macintosh computers.
Madonna solves models comprising many ordinary differential equations using very simple programming, including arrays. It is so powerful that the model parameters may be defined as "sliders", which allow the effect of their change on the model behavior to be seen almost immediately. Data may be included for curve fitting, and sensitivity or multiple runs may be performed. The results can be seen simultaneously on multiple-graph windows or by using overlays. The resultant learning effect of this is tremendous. The examples can be varied to fit any real situation, and the suggested exercises provide practical guidance.
The extensive experience of the authors, both in university teaching and international courses, is reflected in this well-balanced presentation, which is suitable for the teacher, the student, the chemist or the engineer. This book provides a greater understanding of the formulation and use of mass and energy balances for chemical engineering, in a most stimulating manner.
This book is a second edition, which is much improved by the new software, and it also includes a new section on biological process examples.

GREAT BOOK.......2002-07-23
IT WAS PRACTICAL-EASY TO FOLLOW-AND MADE MY JOB SO MUCH EASIER! NOT AT ALL LIKE TEXTBOOKS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL DUMB--NEVER GOT LOST--HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
PRAISE.......2000-06-10
THIS IS TRUE THAT YOU PROVIDE DETAIL ABOUT MERCHANDISING ,AND I FOUND IT THE BEST ONE IN THE WORLD OF LIBRARY
Good merchandising info, math not too helpful.......2000-04-11
As a newcomer to merchandising, I found this book's explanations of key terminology and tips on merchandise planning to be very helpful. The math, however, was entirely too simplistic to be of much use. This book contains an entire chapter on how to use a calculator. If you're looking for a good general overview of the field, this is a good book. But anyone with an elementary education should already know the math.
So easy to follow!.......2000-02-06
I am taking a retail math class in college and using this book. I always hated math, and never did well in high school. This book is easy for me to follow, and most of all it really is step by step and now all the math work makes sense. I know what I am learning now will help me throughout my merchandising career.
I finally understand math!.......1999-10-08
I finally understand math! This is the first time I ever enjoyed a math class. I learned one step at a time how to solve problems easily. There are problems, with business definitions explained, examples, the forms you really use on the job, and helpful hints on how to solve the problems successfully. The book is easy to follow, and really helps you with the work,instead of frustrating you. I'm working in a retail store while I attend school, and I finally understand the paperwork I have to complete. The book shows you how to understand and calculate all the retail math skills you'll ever need to know!

Customer Reviews:
Not exactly rocket science.......2006-08-15
Merchandising math is all straight-forward algebra. This large format 340 page book is padded with a comprehensive description of merchandising, from fashion forecasting to merchandise hierarchies to vendor relations. The most useful information I found was how P&L is expanded for a typical retailer, and explanations of retail terms like maintained and cumulative margin. The exercises on planning P&L, preparing a six month plan and calculating OTB were useful, but the book is aimed at college students, anyone with retail work experience will find much of the material pretty obvious.
EXCELLENT.......2006-02-23
I received my order promptly and the book was in excellent condition complete with working CD!

Be ware this is instructors' manual!!.......2003-07-04
Before you purchase, make sure you get the right book. This is not for students, just for instructors (ISBN 0312403038).
An enthralling Anthology.......2000-03-29
This book is wonderful for developing ananlytical thought and critical literature development for both young men and women and older generations. This anthology contains: Poetry, Short Stories, and plays. The subjects range from the conflict between the interests of a parents and their child, growing up and discovering the world, and romance. This anthology contains such legendary works as: The Glass Menagerie, A Doll House, and eternal A Rose for Emily. Overall, I highly recommend this book as an edcational tool for an High School classes or as a nice collection of short works to read.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent for teaching college freshmen Introduction to Lit........1999-07-17
The fact that it contains television scripts makes it work for college students who are not as familiar with "reading" as they are "watching." The introduction of television scripts as a form of literature that belongs to the genre of "Theater/Drama" helps the students make the trip from television to other forms of "Theater" and then into works of fiction and poetry and, finally, into the world of "classic" literature. There is room for all tastes in Literature - as with art, the value of a text lies, finally, with its audience.
Wretched........1998-11-21
One of the worst anthologies of literature I have ever read. You know a literature book does not deserve to be taught in an English class when it includes manuscripts from television's Seinfeld.
