CHAIRMAN, PROF. D.K. KARIUKI RECEIVES COPIES OF A BOOK DONATED BY DR. JOYCE KITHURE

Dr. Joyce Kithure who is a Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi Donated five copies of her Book Titled Statistics for Chemists: questions & answers.

 

As described in her book, Statistics for Chemists is a part of Analytical Chemistry that deals with collecting, analyzing, presenting, and interpreting chemical data statistically with an advanced level of accuracy and precision. Analytical Chemistry is a branch of Chemistry that deals with the identification of compounds and mixtures(qualitative analysis). The techniques commonly used in Analytical Chemistry are titration, precipitation, spectroscopy, Chromatography etc. This is the only branch of experimental science which involves a large number of measurements followed by intensive calculation. Generally, most students are reluctant  in doing numerical problems.This is the reason Dr. Kithure decided to write this book on Statistics for basic ideas and skills needed to statistically interpret scientific research findings in a more precise and accurate manner.

 

This book is available in our Departmental Library for reference purpose and staff and students are encouraged to make use of it. For more information on how you to get a copy of this material you can email Dr. Joyce Kithure on jkithure@uonbi.ac.ke
