Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Quantitative Analysis for Mining Engineers
This small book on quantitative analysis consists entirely of a series of articles which appeared in the school OF mines quar terly, Volume XXV. It was written primarily, to furnish the engineering students at Columbia University, particularly the min ing engineers, with the directions required for their course in quantitative analysis. Also, as so many men now enter the min ing course with advanced standing from other universities, col leges and schools, it seemed advisable to show in this way what we require from our mining students in quantitative work.
No attempt is made to cover the entire field of inorganic analysis; but a few important analyses are given in considerable detail; the aim being to describe these analyses with enough explanation for the student to work understandingly and with an appreciation of the modern theories of chemistry. References will be found at the end of the chapters to books and articles giving additional information on the subjects treated and the last chapter is devoted entirely to references on important analyses which are not given in the text nor required in the course for mining engineers.
