"What?" is the province of qualitative analysis, while "How much?" is the province of quantitative analysis. In this course, our focus will be with "How much?" -- the problems associated with the quantification of the amount of a species present in a given sample. A thorough understanding of quantitative analysis is a vital necessity for virtually all physical and biological scientists who are obliged to collect analytical data and apply statistical treatments to the data. A study of quantitative analysis is also of benefit in that it places the highest premium upon careful, orderly work and intellectually honest and fair observation. There are skills worthy of cultivating regardless of one's ultimate field of endeavor.
