Fair coverage of a broad subject.......2004-11-16

The adhesion between different materials is something people rarely consider when they think of science or engineering, yet few subjects are more important to practicioners in so many fields such as biology, materials science, chemistry, construction, medicine, etc... This book takes a big stab at trying to describe the studies of adhesion between different classes of materials such as polymers, metals, ceramics, and even biological organisms. The book also includes a chapter on the modeling of adhesion at the atomic scale. As such, it is worth reading... but the problems arise in that each chapter is written by a different author(s) and one clearly notices the biasness of each author towards the research they do. Each of the different topics end up focusing on a few test cases. For example, the section on metal - ceramic adhesion deals with really one ceramic, alumina, even though many metal - ceramic couples are being studied quite extensively. Because of this, I would not recommend this book as an introduction to the field. It does make a good reference for those who work with adhesion.

Good for those who want to begin to really understand adhesi.......1999-11-19

Lee casts a pretty long shadow in adhesion studies. There is usually a lot of rehashed wetting tension stuff in books on adhesion - Lee goes past that. I keep coming back to some of the figures in this volume to explain key topics in adhesion technology to new people in our company. Particularly useful for me were the section on Tg and time-temperature superposition in determining adhesion peel strength.

ASIN: 9067643777

Book Description

This volume documents the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Adhesion Aspects of Polymeric Coatings held in Newark, New Jersey, May 25-26, 2000. Since the first symposium, held in 1981, there had been tremendous research activity relative to the adhesion aspects of polymeric coatings. Polymeric coatings are used for a variety of purposes. Irrespective of the intended purpose of the coating, it must adequately adhere to the underlying substrate, otherwise delamination and other undesirable phenomena occur. So the need to understand the factors which influence adhesion of polymeric coatings and to control it to a desirable level is quite patent. This volume contains a total of 13 papers, which were all properly peer reviewed, revised and edited before inclusion. Furthermore, the authors were asked to update their manuscripts, so the information contained in this book should be current and fresh.

The topics covered in this book include: factors influencing adhesion of polymeric coatings; ways to improve adhesion; formation and relevance of interphase in practical adhesion; adhesion/cohesion in painted plastics; imaging of polymer surfaces; effect of substrate residue (smut) on coating processes; surface treatment of metals and glass by silanes; surface modification of polyphenylene sulfide plastics; resin bonding in dentistry; measurement of internal stresses in polymeric coatings; effect of steel surface composition on adhesion of paint; wet adhesion of coatings on wood; and modified tape test to measure adhesion of coatings. This book will be of interest to everyone interested or involved in the arena of polymeric coatings. It should also provide some new ideas as to how to control adhesion durability of coatings in different environments.

Lacking in going from abstract to application.......2007-09-23

This review is for the 11th edition of the book. I am using this for a business math course and overall the book is lacking. Many of the examples presented in the chapters are simplistic and have no relation to the difficulty of the application examples. It's unfortunate that the solutions manual while containing the solutions to the examples does not go into more detail in how to solve these type of problems. While it appears the authors goal is to go from abstract to application, he misses the mark. I find myself consulting external resources for almost every chapter. Not recommended.

Finite Mathematics for Business Economics, Life Sciences and Social Sciences (10th Edition).......2005-09-17

They sent me the wrong book. I ordered the Finite Mathematics for Business Economics, Life Sciences and Social Sciences (10th Edition)by Raymond A. Barnett and received the solution manual. I feel very disapointed with this purchase.

NOT USER FRIENDLY!.......2005-09-08

I am using this textbook for my Math for Business and Economics class and it is terrible. This book is not written taking into consideration the audience "Business Majors". Concepts are better explained in the Chapter review than under the sections they are being presented. There is only 1 example for each new concept and definitions are written using one or two definitions of new concepts within it. If this book is intended to take the student from the abstract concept to the real world it sure doesn't do this. I understood the material better in my Intermediate Algebra class than I do now.

Sound choice for a finite math textbook.......2004-06-27

This is a very sound choice as a textbook for a course in finite mathematics. The coverage is appropriate, the level suitable for the non-math major, the explanations are excellent and the authors take the title seriously.
The topics are covered in the following order:

* Elementary functions and their graphs.
* The mathematics of finance.
* Matrices and systems of linear equations.
* Linear inequalities and linear programming.
* Logic, set theory and basic counting.
* Probability and probability distributions.
* Basic game and decision theory.
* Markov chains.

Many exercises in economics, life and the social sciences.......2004-06-26

There are many exercises and at the end of each section there is a set of basic exercises followed by a collection of applied problems. The set of applied problems is split into three categories: business & economics, life sciences and social sciences. Since finite mathematics is often a preparation for students to work in these fields, this format is what impressed me the most. With all of these "real world" problems to work as part of their study, no student using this book could ever legitimately say that they see no purpose to their studies. Solutions to the odd-numbered problems are included.
I came into contact with this book after my choice of textbook was irrevocable. Had I seen it earlier, it would have been the one I used.

Like a telephone book.......2006-04-17

I was very dissappointed in this math textbook. I purchased it full price from the university, because they didn't have any used copies, and regretted it. It's basically like a telephone book of math information. You look something up, there's a short entry, and then tons and tons of problems. It contains everything, but the writing style is very dense, like they are trying to cram everything in. Its supposedly for applications oriented work, but I actually find more "theoretical" textbooks to have better and more well-described applications. A lot of the applications are just problems to solve that I question the real world relevance of. Bottom line, if you take a class that requires this book, I'd try to get a used copy or share a copy with some classmates, xerox the problem sets required for your homeworks, and get some other calculus textbooks to study from (one that I think is very interesting, if underutilized, is "Calculus In Context". Also take good notes in class and make sure you know the topics that are covered, so you can learn them somewhere else. Finally, unlike the previous reviewer, I do not hope the authors get cancer, but I do hope universities start carrying other textbooks instead of this one.

OUCH!.......2004-10-03

It assumes that you know a lot about math already so it does _not_ contain step by step. Mostly it just says "Here, this is the problem and this is the answer". How you get from point 'A' to point 'B' is a total mystery.

Bottom line, if the instructor had known that the book was this bad, he would have changed it to something better so that we could actually go through more stuff then we did.

Poorly Written Piece.......2004-05-06

It's simply a bad math text. I hope the authors get cancer.

Do you like the Matrix??.......2002-08-18

Did you like The Matrix? If you did you will love this book, it is filled with Matricies (the plural version of matrix). So buying this book is like having all three of the Matrix movies at once. All the excitement and all of knowledge, with this book you are "The One" and will never have to wonder what the Matrix is again. If you don't like the Matrix maybe you have wondered what the answer to f(x,y)= 4x + 5y - 6 is. Well I'm not going to ruin the ending of the book for you but the answer can be found in the back of this book(pg. A-90). Oh the suspense!!! Either way this book is a great read and if you are taking the class related to this book, you will never pass without it.
