This entertaining book is a translation from the Portuguese (Como Fazer Experimentos), and does not suffer at all because of that. It is a basic, minimal mathematical, introduction to experimental design, full of interesting examples, that reflect its geographical origin. Quite why the word 'chemometrics' has found its way into the title, and why 'experimental' (which I guess could be a translation of Experimentos) was left out I am not sure. The first chapter is a rationale for applying statistics, starting with a quote from Descartes in 1637. It explains why the apparently common sense approach to optimization of 'change one factor at a time' is not the best, and that statistics can help. The goal of experimental design is to extract the maximum amount of information from a minimum outlay of experiments. Some fundamental concepts concerned with the requirements to describe systems with empirical models versus explaining systems using theoretical models, are discussed. This allows the introduction of experimental design and the different kinds of questions that can be asked about a system, to end the first chapter. The obligatory rehearsal of statistical principals comes in Chapte
