At a time when computerized laboratory automation is producing a da ta explosion, chemists are turning to applied mathematics and statistics for the tools to extract useful chemical information from data. This rush to find applicable methods has lead to a somewhat confusing body of literature that represents a barrier to chemists wishing to learn more about chemometrics. The confusion results partly from the mixing of chemical notation and nomenclature with those of statistics, applied mathematics and engineering. Additionally, in the absence of collaboration with mathematicians, chemists have, at times, misused data analysis methodology and even reinvented methods that have seen years of service in other fields. The Chemometrics Society has worked hard to solve this problem since it was founded in 1974 with the goal of improving communications between the chemical sciences and applied mathe matics and statistics. The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Chemometrics is evidence of this fact as it was initiated in response to a call from its membership for advanced training in several areas of chemometrics. This Institute focused on current theory and application in the new field of Chemometrics: Use of mathematical and statistical methods, Ca) to design or select optimal measurement procedures and experiments; and Cb) to provide maximum chemical information by analyzing chemical data. The Institute had two formal themes and two informal themes."

Chemometrics Mathematics And Statistics In Chemistry
Just some passages/quotes:
"Scientists have bought the reductionist mode of thinking as their guiding ideology. Yet this philosophy bears so little relationship to the reality within which scientists themselves operate. And it carries potential danger to the discourse of scientists with the rest of society.
I think the reality of understanding is the following: Every field of human knowledge or art develops its own complexity of questions... Much of what people call understanding is a discussion of questions in the context of the complexity or hierarchy or concepts which are developed within that field. If you wanted to deprecate this way of thinking, you would call it quasi-circular. I wouldn't deprecate it; I think this kind of understanding is quintessentially human and has led to great art and science.
There are vertical and horizontal ways of understanding. The vertical way is by reducing a phenomena to something deeper--classical reductionism. The horizontal way is by analyzing the phenomena within its own discipline and seeing its relationships to other concepts of equal complexity." 19
"The duality of benefit and potential harm is faced by real, fallible, ethical human beings in the context of any object in their environment." 199
"My second point of concern about chemical illiteracy returns me to democracy. Ignorance of chemistry poses a barrier to the democratic process. I believe deeply, as must be clear now, that "ordinary people" must be empowered to make decisions--on genetic engineering or on waste disposal sites, on dangerous and safe factories or on which addictive drugs should or should not be controlled. Citizens can call on experts to explain the advantages and disadvantages, the options, the benefits and risks. But experts do not have the mandate; the people and their representatives do. The people also have a responsibility--they need to learn enough chemistry to be able to resist the seductive words of, yes, chemical experts who can be assembled to support any nefarious activity you please." 228
