01:20Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares
A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

The fundamental mathematical principles, such as calculus and graphs, play crucial roles in analyzing drug movement and determining pharmacokinetic parameters. Differential calculus examines rates of change and helps to determine the dissolution rate of drugs in biofluids, as well as how drug concentrations change over time. For instance, it can help calculate the rate of elimination of a drug from the body based on its concentration-time profile.

01:21Chemical Equilibria: Systematic Approach to Equilibrium Calculations
Equilibrium calculations for systems involving multiple equilibria are often complex. For example, to calculate the solubility of a sparingly soluble salt in an aqueous solution in the presence of a common ion, one must consider all the equilibria in this solution. Calculations for these systems can be complicated and tedious, so a systematic approach with a series of steps is often helpful. The process is detailed below.

01:30Equations of Equilibrium in Three Dimensions
When analyzing structures or systems at rest, it is necessary to ensure they are in equilibrium. This is where the vector and scalar equations of equilibrium come into play. These equations are crucial in ensuring a structure is stable and will not collapse or fall apart. The vector and scalar equations of equilibrium provide a framework for analyzing the forces acting on a body.

01:21Curves Defined by Parametric Equations
A baseball hit into the air follows a parabolic trajectory when air resistance is neglected. The motion can be described within a two-dimensional coordinate system, where both the horizontal displacement and vertical height are functions of time. Instead of expressing the trajectory as a single function of position, the motion is modeled using parametric equations: one function for the horizontal position and another for the vertical position as time progresses. Let the horizontal position be...
01:17Curve Equations
Curves are essential geometric elements characterized by tangent distance, chord length, middle ordinate, and total arc length. These measurements are crucial in understanding a curve's geometric and spatial properties and are defined by the relationship between its radius and its central angle.The tangent distance (T) refers to the straight-line measurement from the intersection point of two tangents to either the start or end of the curve. This distance is influenced by the curve's radius (R)...
