This paper gives a brief comparison of the quantitative chemical analysis content in representative analytical chemistry textbooks by authors at Peking University and overseas. Specifically, the content of introduction, error and data analysis and treatment, as well as chemical equilibria and volumetric titration are evaluated. The compared textbooks cover largely the same basic contents, methods and ways to solve analytical problems. Each book presents the content in its own style, sequence, and point cut, providing diversified perspectives on analytical chemistry. Quantitative Chemical Analysis by authors at Peking University is a concise textbook which elucidates all the basic concepts, principles and methods in limited number of pages. Most overseas textbooks provide a detailed introduction of the basic physical chemistry perspective of chemical equilibria, thus, general chemistry course may not be a prerequisite. The future development of analytical chemistry and related disciplines, as well as the emergence of new analytical methods may become parts of the analytical chemistry textbooks. As a result, the chemical analysis part may be reduced as we cannot make the size of the textbook bigger and bigger without limit. Nevertheless, the procedure and steps to solve problems of analytical chemistry remains the same. In the future analytical chemistry textbooks, the basics and principles in the workflow of the analytical chemistry procedure, and errors and analytical data treatment are suggested to be enhanced. The language/terminology of analytical chemistry and figures of merit of analytical methods are suggested to be introduced. The way to solve complicated chemical equilibria should be further condensed based on the physical chemistry principle. All of the above are the basis for understanding how to solve an analytical chemistry problem, how to develop an analytical method, and how to validate a new analytical method.
