Review:As a student, you can spend hours sifting through hundreds of textbook pages to find the equations you need. Even worse, after a few years in school, you'll find yourself searching years of notes and many different text books to find all the equations you'll need for your homework problems. This equation sheet is a LIFESAVER because it sums up everything you need to know and remember when in the chemistry field. I can't list all the times I've referenced it to remember the topics or equations I... Read more
Review:Nicely laminated product. I do wish metric equivalents and English to metric equivalents were listed..such as how many km are in a mile or how many mm are in a km.. A cheat sheet with that info would be awesome! Read more
Review:For me this could be a situation where they could pick up a book from the publisher and decider it. My college used Lewis structure a lot and I really stumbled. This book has lots of great info. Just not the help I was looking for. Used for chem 101. Read more

Review:I was very disappointed in A Beautiful Mind and couldn't finish it. There seemed to be too much math "talk" that I couldn't get past to get to the actual person and story. Maybe another day, I'll try to go back and finish it. I tried! :( Read more
Review:I found the relationship of consciousness to the universe intriguing. But I found his criticism of string theory as speculative somewhat inconsistent, given that this theory is also speculative. I do think that consciousness is one of those mysteries that is tied up with other aspects of the universe, but I don't necessarily accept that the rest of the universe exists only as probabilities until perceived by a conscious entity. I find research into near-death experiences also very intriguing, an... Read more
Review:Using and Understanding Mathematics is the worse math book I have ever opened in my entire life. Chapters 5 and 6 are definitely the worse chapters in the book. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with statistical reasoning, having taken a statistic course prior to this course I found that there were a lot of mistakes in the book. The explanation of surveying and opinion polls was extremely poor. The calculation of the confidence interval was not clearly defined neither was the discussion on choosing bias for... Read more
