Handbook of Chemical Reactor Design, Optimization, and Scaleup
Customer Reviews:
A Book for Professionals and Advanced Students.......2002-10-09
This is the most comprehensive book on reactor design on the market. Like Nauman's previous book on reactor design, it assumes a smart reader. It is thus more suitable for working engineers or graduate students rather than the typical undergraduate, but a good instructor could pull it off and learn a lot in the process. Numerical techniques are stressed to allow rigorous design calculations for complex situations. I particularly like the chapters on laminar flow reactors and polymerizations where the book really has no competition....

Book Description
I would recommend this book to all mathematics teachers because it has a wealth of ideas that could easily be used in the classroom.
- The Mathematics Teacher
Investigating interesting problems about the world makes mathematics compelling and engaging, but many students experience math as simply a set of rules and procedures to memorize and repeat on tests. Writing, however, frees students of the idea that mathematics is a collection of right answers owned by teachers.
In Writing to Learn Mathematics, Joan Countryman demonstrates how you can dramatically improve students' reasoning capabilities using:
- journals
- learning logs
- letters
- autobiographies
- investigations
- formal papers.
The text provides descriptions of writing activities that classroom teachers can use to enhance the learning of math and includes examples of student writing, from short journal entries to excerpts from longer research papers. Most helpful are the topics suggested to explore at different levels of the primary and secondary mathematics curriculum, including descriptions of student responses to these presentations.
Readers of Writing to Learn Mathematics will discover how writing can help students develop concepts and thinking skills as well as free them to recognize what they know--and what they want to explore.

Good practical and theortical guide for writing in math.......2004-12-02
As an aspiring math teacher, I have searched for the best assistance in teaching math. The idea of using writing as a learning tool intrigues me. I have long thought this skill was much neglected in math education.
This short, accessible book provides a brief yet thorough view of the subject of writing to learn mathematics. Each chapter provides the whys, the hows, and examples illustrating student's work. The easy-to-use layout increases the book's value as a reference resource for ongoing improvement of instruction.
With many books I purchase to advance my knowledge, I read them and discard them. This one I will keep around to keep my instruction at it's best.
A Must for Teachers of Mathematics!.......2000-05-01
One of the few texts that seems to be out there for the mathematics classroom surrounding the idea of writing is the book by Joan Countryman titled, "Writing to Learn Mathematics." I found much of it very interesting and applicable to my work with portfolios and communicating mathematical ideas both orally and in writing. She illustrates different types of writing that can be used in a math class to illicit different kinds of responses from students. Her work includes actual student samples of writing, as well as commentary on what kinds of insight she gained about student understanding (or lack thereof), that might not have been gained from a more traditional test/quiz. If you are interested in incorporating portfolios, math autobiographies, or other kinds of writing in a math classroom, this is an excellent resource.

Customer Reviews:
Has the best resale value of all Algebra texts........2007-03-21
I flunked algebra in high school. Now I'm taking a 095 algebra class at a local collage and now I'm getting A's and B's. It's a great book and ours came packaged with lecture CDs. It maybe the best algebra text book but you still have to do practice problems over and over to get good grades they don't just happen because the book was so good.
Perfect book to reintroduce algebra.......2004-04-07
I used this book in my first back-to-college algebra class, and it is a great book. Easy to understand explanations and step-by-step instructions made algebra way easier than I remembered! Please note: the companion solutions manual has many wrong answers. The book itself, however, is great. If your class is using this book, you will do well.
best math text I have ever used.......1999-10-01
I wish he had written all of my text books. Everything is clearly laid out with examples that are broken down into small steps to make understanding even clearer.
Not afraid of Algebra now !.......1999-01-22
I would really like to thank Mr. Angel for putting together a great book. I have to admit that I was afraid of Algebra until I started studying from this book.
Thanks !
a good supplement.......1998-07-26
The book was laid out well and establishes a good flow with the reader. Contains helpful drawings and diagrams. This book is well suited for visual learners.
