Preparation For Organic Chemistry (Help for Organic Chemistry)

I. David Reingold

This book is an outgrowth of our Technical Mathematics with Calculus. It is intended for students enrolled in an engineering technology curriculum. The material is presented under the assumption that the student has a working knowledge of college-level algebra and trigonometry. The primary objective of a technical calculus book is to relate mathematical concepts to practical engineering technology problems. We have attempted to attain this goal by using physical problems that are well within the scope of the beginning student as a springboard to mathematical concepts. Our approach is exemplified in Chapters 2 and 6 in connection with the concepts of the derivative and the definite integral, respectively. Both chapters are designed to lead the student to the desired mathematical concept by identifying the common thread in several apparently unrelated physical problems. For example, in Chapter 2, the similarity in the solutions to the slope of a tangent line, the velocity of a particle, and the current in a circuit is used to motivate the definition of the derivative. The scope of topics covered in the text is standard for technical calculus books. Algebraic functions are discussed in the preliminary chapters and are followed by the transcendental functions. Selected topics from differential equations and infinite series are presented in the concluding chapters. Analytic geometry is presented as it is needed to facilitate an understanding of calculus applications. Except in Chapters 1 and 11, the two subjects are interwoven. The conic sections of Chapter 11 can be taught at any time after Chapter 1 is covered, but they are delayed in the arrangement of topics to allow earlier coverage of the transcendental functions. The book is designed to satisfy the needs of a two semester course; however, those desiring a one-semester coverage of calculus will find the first seven chapters ideal for this purpose. The presentation features a variety of learning aids. Numerous worked examples are included in each section, many of which have step-by-step comments to lead students through the solution. Because repetition is an important part of the learning process, we have included an abundant supply of graded problems in the end-of-section exercise sets. In addition, each chapter concludes with a set of review exercises. Exercises with application to a specific technology are 'called-out' with a distinctive logo. (A key to the application symbols follows the Table of Contents.) Answers to the odd-numbered exercises are provided at the end of the book. Comment and Warning statements are included throughout the book to alert the student to important ideas and processes and to warn of common pitfalls. Also, many of the mathematical procedures are presented in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step format. These procedural steps are boxed - as are key formulas, equations, and definitions - for emphasis and for easy reference. An additional learning aid is the Glossary of Important Terms at the back of the book. ...

This volume provides, under one cover, a textbook and an anthology, each designed for a first course in moral philosophy. The textbook, Part One, takes up a series of topics which either are of basic importance to ethical theory or have been found by the author to be interesting and controversial to students, or are both of these. The nine chapters can be read independently of one another; and while some of them contain references to other chapters, they should be thought of more as a menu than as a cumulatively developing textbook. Chapters 4 through 6-`Universalizing,` `Morality and Self-interest,` and `Ethical Relativism`-come closest to constituting a sequence. Each chapter tries to be an informative introduction to the topics named in its title. Nevertheless, my own interests and opinions get expressed, especially in the latter parts of `Rules and Consequences,` `Universalizing,` `Morality and Self-interest,` `Ethical Relativism,` and `Religion and Morality.` Where my views appear they are offered quite openly as hypotheses and suggestions after the problems have been laid out, and I think there is little danger of their masquerading as received doctrine. In any event, I think I can rely on instructors to tell students where their textbook author is being `objective` and where he has gone mad. Writers who are not professional philosophers are seldom represented on ethical subjects other than casuistry. In the anthology I offer two such `nonprofessionals`: the psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, whose `stages of moral development` greatly influenced the field of moral education; and the sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson, whose discussion of hypotheses about the evolution of altruism should, in my opinion, be read by every moral philosopher. In the textbook I offer a third: the novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand (whose actual writings I could not reprint). Most moral philosophers discuss and attempt to refute ethical egoism but rarely, if at all, come up with a genuine ethical egoist to discuss. Ayn Rand is, I think, the best representative of ethical egoism, and in Chapter 5 ethical egoism is discussed and appraised in the light of her theory. Some of the selections-for example, those from Hume, Butler, Kant, Toulmln, Hare, and Wilson-are explained and discussed at length in the textbook; several are discussed less extensively; and Searle, Foot, and Kohlberg are not discussed. Anthologized authors who get more than passing mention in the textbook (with some inaccuracy I include Rand in this category) are mentioned in the table of contents and are introduced in boldface type where discussion of their work begins in the textbook. Short bibliographies are appended to the biographical sketches of the anthologized authors, and there is an index to the textbook at the end of the book. The author and the publisher are grateful for the assistance of those who made professional reviews of the manuscript. These review¬ers, to whom we give thanks, were Theodore M. Benditt, University of Southern California; Ronald L. Burnside, Sinclair Community College; Leslie P. Francis, University of Utah; John Kearney, Saint Joseph`s College (Philadelphia); Anthony J. Lisska, Denison University; Paul Seman, Sinclair Community College; and Arnulf Zweig, University of Oregon. The author is grateful to Kenneth Long, Ohio State University, for excellent and good-humored indexing
