      Book Description

      In the years since the publication of Atherton and Sheppard's volume, the technique of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis has matured considerably and is now the standard approach for the routine production of peptides. The basic problems at the time of publication of this earlier work have now for the most part, been solved. As a result, innovators in the field have focussed their efforts to develop methodologies and chemistry for the synthesis of more complex structures. The focus of this new volume is much broader, and covers the essential procedures for the production of linear peptides and more advanced techniques for preparing cyclic, side-chain modified, phospho- and glycopeptides. Many other methods also deserving attention have been included: convergent peptide synthesis; peptide-protein conjugation; chemoselective ligation; and chemoselective purification. The difficult preparation of cysteine and methionine-containing peptides is also covered, as well as methods for overcoming aggregation during peptide chain assembly. Many of the techniques developed for the production of large arrays of peptides by parallel synthesis, such as t-bag, SPOT and PIN synthesis, have naturally been included. Finally, a survey of available automated instrumentation has also been provided.

          Book Description

          The study of amino acids and peptides is becoming increasingly important to chemists becuase of the growing overlap of mainstream organic chemistry with bioorganic chemistry and biochemistry. This introductory text begins with a brief survey of the role and diversity of amino acids, peptides, and proteins in nature, and goes on to describe and explain the principal methods of chemical synthesis. With its emphasis on chemical principles and strategies rather than detailed technical matters, the book will be essential reading for all students of chemistry and biochemistry with an interest in this important field. This second edition contains extensive additions and adjustments, to present a completely up-to-date account of the chemical essentials of mainstream peptide synthesis.

          This is a good for a text book. It can help you to understand basic chemistry of peptide synthesis. It doesn't tell you the detail procedure about how to synthesis peptide. You have to buy some books such as "Fmoc-peptide synthesis" if you are really working on peptide synthesis and need step-by-step procedures for synthesizing different type of peptides.

            Book Description

            Many successful syntheses of homochiral organic compounds use an amino acid derivative as a starting point. Such syntheses are not confined to peptides as targets; peptide synthesis strategies have been narrowed down to a few well-defined protocols (and these are not covered in this book). Outside the peptide field, many non-routine syntheses have been established that give the intended products in which the structural features of the starting amino acid are barely recognisable. This book is a laboratory guide that covers the early stages of syntheses under these headings, which invariably call for modifications to the functional groups of readily-available L-amino acids. It will therefore give invaluable guidance to the preparation of amino acid derivatives to be used not only in these broad area of synthesis but also in amino acid analysis. Synthetic work with amino acids carried out by new users and by experienced chemists and other scientists, will be supported by the detailed practical protocols and background information provided in this book.

                  5 out of 5 stars School Book.......2007-09-24

                  I am currently a student at a Community College which requires this book for it's Probablity & Statistics online class. It's an excellent book that works well.

                  3 out of 5 stars Need texbook, can obtain...........2007-06-08

                  I received the book fairly quickly. The book was a little rough around the edges (advertised as good) and it is. The back outside spine was ripped and for that they could have drop the price a little more, but considering the price in the university book store was $118 (new), and $85 (used) - I could live with it. I believe that this is a fair assessment of the site. I would order a book from them again.

                  1 out of 5 stars Not a helpful text.......2007-05-22

                  I just completed a class where this textbook was used, and found it to be a particularly poorly written text. I feel that because of this I did not do as well in the class as I had hoped. I am a Liberal Studies major and took this class to satisfy my mathematical requirement. I found the explanations and instructions to be confusing and incomplete. As this book appears to be aimed at individuals such as myself, I would think that simple and clear writing would be paramount for the authors. This proves to not be the case. Instructors, steer clear please.

                  4 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT REFERENCE FOR BEGINNING & ADVANCED UNDERGRADUATES.......2002-02-07

                  I have been teaching out of Angel & Porter for the last three years. It has quite a few good examples, though I agree with the first reviewer's comment that it does need more challenging problems.

                  Among the topics I have covered are: inductive reasoning, set concepts, symbolic logic, truth tables, algebra, applied geometry, probability, statistics, and mathematics of finance. Though the examples are laid out fairly well for those who are mathematically inclined, the teacher who happens to have quite a few students with weak mathematical skills is often finding himself or herself in situations of having to create ways to become an effective expositor of mathematical theorems and applications. In other words, by trying to explain what the authors are providing in their examples, the instructor is frequently shouldering the added burden of making this book come to life not only from a mathematical perspective but also from a communicative standpoint.

                  On a positive note, however, there are several excellent applications, and the range of topics is quite broad. Oftentimes there is a gap between the level of advanced high school mathematics and that of a four-year university that is so serious that even a student who performed A's in high school will struggle in the type of college math course he or she is placed in. Fortunately, Angel and Porter have been able to fill in quite a few of the missing pieces.

                  1 out of 5 stars Still incompetent after all these editions.......2002-01-15

                  A few years ago I wrote a review here on Amazon, of an edition of this text from around 1994. Apparently, only one of eight of those who commented found my review helpful. This new review is an attempt to be more helpful and to address the newer 6th edition.
                  Correctness is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for quality in mathematics text books. Usually the first condition in a given. The issues then largely become ones of whether or not the book is student friendly, whether it covers appropriate topics and so on. Angel and Porter's *Survey of Mathematics with Applications* fails on the criterion of correctness and hence one could reasonable say that the need for further evaluation on the other issues is moot.
                  In a circa 1994 edition, discussion on irrational numbers was misleading at best; even if not stated explicitly, the implication was that all reals belonged to a particular proper subset of the algebraic numbers. When I recently started to teach at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), Catonsville, where the text was being used, I immediately turned to discussion of this topic. There on page 214 of this 6th edition, only three paragraphs into my reading, was a fallacy: "The points on the real number line that are not rational numbers are referred to as irrational numbers. Recall that every rational number is either a terminating or a reaping decimal number. *Therefore* [italics mine], irrational numbers, when represented as decimal numbers, will be nonterminating, nonrepeating numbers." All Q are (T or R), *therefore* all that is not Q is not (T or R). Perhaps this could be used as an example in the earlier chapter on logic. Since I was only three paragraphs into my reading of this new edition when I encountered this miscarriage of logic, it made quite an impression on me.
                  The text is replete with errors where the errors are of such a nature as to suggest that the authors really just aren't that good with math or are extremely careless. Some more examples:
                  Page 584: "If an event has *equally likely outcomes* [original italics]...," where it should say rather "If every outcome in the sample space is equally likely..."
                  Since the circa 1994 edition, where there was an error regarding conditional probability and the probability of independent events, the authors seem to have attempted to rescue themselves from embarrassment by insertion of a footnoted remark (page 615), but the presentation makes the most bizarre contortions of meaning, notation and caveats: "P(A and B)=P(A)P(B), assuming that event A has occurred*," the asterisk referring to a footnote where it stated that by 'P(B)' they mean P(B|A). But then what do we call P(A)? But the problem does not end there.
                  Page 293, exercise 43: The answer in the book fails to take into consideration that the dB scale is logarithmic. Given an inverse square dissipation of sound energy, loudness would increase from 20 dB at 6 feet to 26 dB at 3 feet, not to 80 dB.
                  Page 49, exercise 16: The answer says zero is not equal to the empty set. But that is the way zero, the smallest ordinal, is defined in modern set theory.
                  An analogy to falling dominos is often used to illustrate mathematical induction. Why, on page 3, do the authors use a domino analogy to illustrate inductive reasoning? It would be a bad idea to use falling dominos to illustrate inductive reasoning since the same example is classically used to illustrate mathematical induction and the two distinct concepts have similar names and are frequently confounded by students, who incorrectly assume that mathematical induction is a form on inductive reasoning. But I suspect that that the authors themselves are not clear on the distinction. It fits with the evidence. Furthermore, the book gives definitions of inductive and deductive reasoning (pages 3 and 4) that are antiquated and should be dispensed with in favor of common contemporary usage among mathematicians and logicians (see http://www.iep.utm.edu/d/ded-ind.htm for a nice brief discussion on the meaning of inductive and deductive logic).
                  Often the incorrect content is on non-mathematical subjects:
                  On page 3: "...no two people have the same fingerprints or DNA." Well, of course, up to mutations, monozygotic twins have the same DNA.
                  Page 9: "Little mistake, Big Discovery... The red dot represent the area *near America* [italics mine], the Canary Islands, where [Christopher] Columbus landed." Yes, on the map, the dot is closer to where North American should be than it is to Africa. But, I suppose, canaries might migrate. It continues, "He estimated 56.6 miles to a degree instead of the approximately 61.6 miles that it should have been. This resulted in a mile equaling about 4848 ft compared with our 5280 ft per mile. The outcome of this miscalculation put India about 3900 miles west of Spain, more or less where the Americas happen to be." Let's see: (61.6/56.6)*3900 miles = 4245 miles from Spain to India (westward). That's more like it. Of course, the real story is more complicated.
                  Page 579: "The Royal Disease....even though both males and females are carriers, the disease [hemophilia] afflicts only males." While much more likely to afflicts males, the disease does afflict females inheriting two X clotting deficient chromosomes.
                  There is a list of over 30 reviewers with six having reviewed the 6th edition. Does anyone care?
                  I brought a number of these errors to the attention of the Addison Wesley sales representative who deals with our math department. She took notes on the examples I pointed out - I thought to her credit. Apparently she did some investigation of the errors but came back to me saying, "...but the students won't know." Addison Wesley had a tradition of publishing many fine engineering, math and science texts. They appear to have little editorial integrity now, however.
                  CCBC, Catonsville no longer uses this text. We now use one written by one of the reviewers of the Angel and Porter text, another member of the textbook industry. That book is also published by Addison Wesley and makes the same mistake in defining inductive and deduction reasoning as the Angel/Porter text does. It is my opinion that our department is unduly influence by the Addison Wesley sales representatives.
                  I'm sure that writing a good textbook is hard work. I have considered writing one myself and no doubt, the first edition will contain some error. But I would not apply a standard of criticism to the text under review that I would feel unfair if applied to myself.
                  I hope that the reader finds this brief review helpful.

                        Book Description

                        Together with the authors' Volume I. C*-Theory, the two parts comprising Functional Differential Equations: II. C*-Applications form a masterful work-the first thorough, up-to-date exposition of this field of modern analysis lying between differential equations and C*-algebras. The two parts of Volume II contain the applications of the C*-structures and theory developed in Volume I. They show the technique of using the C*-results in the study of the solvability conditions of non-local functional differential equations and demonstrate the fundamental principles underlying the interrelations between C* and functional differential objects. The authors focus on non-local pseudodifferential, singular integral, and Toeplitz operators-with continuous and piecewise continuous coefficients-convolution type operators with oscillating coefficients and shifts, and operators associated with non-local boundary value problems containing transformation operators of an argument on the boundary. They build the symbolic calculus for all these classes of operators, use it to treat concrete examples of non-local operators, present the explicit computation of their Fredholmity conditions and the index formulae, and obtain a number of related results. Part 1: Equations with Continuous Coefficients and Part 2: Equations with Discontinuous Coefficients and Boundary Value Problems can each stand alone and prove a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in operator algebraic methods in the theory of functional differential equations, and to pure C*-algebraists looking for important and promising new applications. Together these books form a powerful library for this intriguing field of modern analysis.
