Introduction to Taxation: A Decision-Making Approach

Book Description

Introduction to Taxation: A Decision-Making Approach emphasizes the decision-making aspects of federal income taxation rather than taking a rules-oriented approach. The book is designed to help students learn and apply new concepts, instead of serving as simply a reference for tax law. The text's features make this an ideal choice for a first course in undergraduate federal income taxation or for a graduate course on tax planning techniques.

Book Description

Introduction to Taxation is intended as the primary text for a first course in taxation at the undergraduate level. The text strives to focus on the explanation of taxation concepts rather than to serve as a reference book. With the use of many examples, clear explanations and diagrams, author, Steven Rice, emphasizes the decision making aspects of taxation in an attempt to facilitate the student's motivation to learn.

Book Description

Designed to supplement and complement any standard biochemistry text or lecture notes, this book helps provide a balanced picture of modern biochemistry by use of elementary mathematics in understanding properties and behavior of biological molecules. It provides a balanced picture of modern biochemistry by using elementary mathematics to explore the properties and behavior of biological molecules. The text discusses such topics as:

Aqueous Solutions and Acid-Base Chemistry

Chemistry of Biological Molecules

Bioenergetics

Enzymes

Spectrophotometry and Other Optical Methods

Isotopes in Biochemistry.

Sample problems are solved completely in a step-by-step manner, and the answer to all practice problems are given at the end of the book. With Biochemical Calculations, 2nd Edition , students will gain confidence in their ability to handle mathematical problems, discovering that biochemistry is more than memorization of structures and pathways.

Theching Quantitative Biochemistry.......2006-01-16

As a biochemistry teacher, I find that a large number of our students are defficient in their quantitative skills. This is because many of them are biology majors, who do not have the best math background. This relatively inexpensive volume bridges the math gap for these students. It also provides the teacher with tools that increase his efficiency in dealing with the problem, without taking too much time away from the materials in the course syllabus. Although it is an older book, there is no modern replacement for what it does.

Still Valuable After All These Years.......2001-09-14

I have taught Biochemistry and Enzymology at the undergraduate and graduate level for over 20 years, and have recommended this book every year, to every student. Although the field of biochemistry has changed greatly during this time period, certain fundamental concepts have not changed at all, and remain central to a true understanding of how to do biochemistry. These include acid/base chemistry, energetics, enzyme kinetics, spectrophotometry, and isotopes. Of these, the first three gnerally give beginning (and even some advanced)students the most difficulty. In "Biochemical Calculations" Dr. Segel provides excellent explanations of the most important aspects of these topics. He provides example problems, with the answers worked out in detail, and then at the end of each chapter he provides numerous practice problems (along with the answer). I know of no other source of such a variety of practice problems covering these topics. Any student who expends the effort to work through these problems will certainly gain the confidence to tackle the common quantitative problems associated with biochemistry. Clearly this is not intended to be a biochemistry textbook, but rather a supplemental resource, to be used to more fully understand the topics covered in the early chapters of all current biochemistry texts.

Wretched..........2000-07-05

This is an essential book for anyone looking to practice biochemical problems -- if only for the reason that books with as many practice problems are hard to find. If you're a true biochemist and love the subject ad will continue on with graduate work or careers in biochemistry, this may be the book for you. For everyone else... probably not. This book is very minimalist. No frills. It has an answer key to the practice problems but lacks any explainations to the answer. Reviews of the material covered in the book are scant at best and very technical. Few examples from real biochemical situations in living organisms are used. It does nothing to make you interested in the subject. The book also uses units such as normality (N) and Calories (C) rather than molarity (M) and Joules (J), the more modern and internationally accepted units of biochemical equations. I have also encountered typos and mistakes in the book in my studies. The only reason why this book is still published is that there are few other books available that offer so many practice problems. If you're looking for practice on any possible biochemical calculation, buy this book. When you're done with it, compost it. Or get $2 back by selling it to the local college bookstore. Biochemical Calculations wouldn't be so bad if a new edition would be written. Biology is a rapidly changing science, and a book that is now going on 25 years old can't compete with the newer and more reader friendly texts.

Beginning Biochemical Calculations.......2000-04-13

Segel's book is a concise and very clear discussion of the most important mathematical concepts needed for biochemistry. Each Topic is discussed briefly, and step by step example problems are presented. Practice problems end each chapter and require a thorough understanding of the topic covered. An excellent tutorial presented in an extremely clear manner.

Confusion, fear and Pathos. All with a laugh.......2004-08-25

Who hasn't fantasized an affair with his psychiatrist? Try this one: an uproarious read about a wacky psychiatrist and his even wackier patient. Just like the characters in this novel, one loses a sense a reality quickly, struggling with what is actual or imagined. Andrea Rouda delivers confusion, fear, and pathos, and all with stage-like timing and an uplifting sense of humor. More, more, Ms. Rouda! (If indeed Ms. Rouda is a "Ms." Readers of Shrink Rapt will delight in this question after reading the book's surprise conclusion!)

A touched and touching heroine.......2004-08-23

This could be the best beach book of summer `04. In the tradition of Woody Allen, where neuroses rule but it's okay because they're funny, the author spins a weird love story narrated in the style of stand-up routine. You don't have to wait for laughs; they're in practically every paragraph. The plot is clever, the characters not very nuanced, but who cares? They serve their various purposes as foils or rivals or comrades of the central, engaging character of Emily Jacobsen, a neurotic personality obsessed (what else?) with her psychiatrist. Beneath Emily's neurotic surface is a just-as-neurotic core, but with a warm heart that makes you hope for the best for her. Her adventures in pursuit of normalcy are hilarious, but there's also something touching and universal about her search for answers and need to connect. Like the best comedy, this funny book has just a touch of sadness. And the ending blew me away.

Food, Fun and Howard.......2004-08-18

Life is what you eat, as well as who you sleep with. Hysterical book I just finished reading at the beach. Between the Jell-O, bialys and chocolate syrup, it's clear that Ms. Rouda knows the ways of the world very well. The tragicomedy has a wild ending. Hope to see more by this new author.

A Powerful and Funny Voice.......2004-08-08

A friend of mine turned me on to this book! Funniest thing I've read EVER. I was laughing out loud! Parts are very sad and poignant too, but mostly it is just hysterical. Great dialogue . . . very unusual voice and pacing . . . this writer is going places. Strange twist ending. Wild story about a girl who loves her shrink . . . he becomes her mother . . . you'll have to read it!

It's Very Funny!.......2004-08-06

This book is a laugh riot. The story is zany, with a nutty plot worthy of William Shakespeare, if he had been Jewish. Anyone who has a mother, or has been in love, or has gone to a shrink, or who is a shrink, or knows someone who has gone to a shrink or has a mother, or likes Shakespeare, will love Shrink Rapt. And I oughtta know--I wrote it. Enjoy.
