This book addresses all those who wish or need or care to know about the “state of the art and the impact of modern chemistry upon the Earth’s environment and the quality of life itself. An introductory chapter gives a non-mathematical account of basic chemical knowledge needed to appreciate the effects of chemistry. Then follow examples of the significance and importance of selected chemical elements and compounds in our daily lives. The broad discussion shows how the physical sciences of physics, metallurgy, geology and engineering, and the biological sciences of biology, biochemistry and microbiology, have contributed and applied their scientific principles to our use of the Earth’s resources. There is interplay throughout on the industrial use of chemicals, and their beneficial and harmful effects.Dr. Barrett points out and highlights the numerous and beneficial contributions that chemists have made to industry, agriculture, medicine and other human activity. He also wears the mask of the Devil’s Advocate by sounding a warning note on the toxic and otherwise harmful effects and consequences that improper use of chemicals can bring about.Provides a comprehensive discussion of the impact of the science of chemistry upon our quality of lifeDelivers examples of the significance and importance of selected chemical elements and compounds in our daily livesDiscusses how the physical sciences of physics, metallurgy, geology and engineering have contributed and applied their scientific principles to our use of the Earth’s resources

This book contributes to the teaching, learning and assessing of mathematical modelling in an era of rapidly expanding technology. It addresses all levels of education from universities, colleges of technology, state and national departments, research groups, teacher training colleges and secondary schools. The broad and versatile range of topics are classified in themes of application. There is discussion of issues and alternatives which improve the quality of education and which continue to attract attention, including examples of modelling in action. They encompass medical, engineering, social or sporting applications. The theme of technology dominates throughout. Applications feature the use of graphics calculators, spreadsheets, symbolic manipulator software, with special purpose programs as aids to mathematical processing, and to teaching. Examples of the use of mathematical models are given, and the role and purpose of modelling is examined from multinational usage.
