The book also includes new chapters on isotonicity, intravenous fluids, and nutritional calculations.

Is this book a "have to purchase" resource? No. I would expect that any college student who knows any high school algebra would be capable of figuring out the majority of this material. However, the style of the book's practice questions is excellent. It provides multiple examples, then practice questions with solutions, then further practice questions with answers at the end of the section. I found this book to be useful through pharmaceutics, p-col, kinetics, and compounding.Bottom line: if you are on a tight budget and like to learn by practice (with explanatory solutions) then I would not pass this relatively inexpensive resource up. Out of all the text a pharmacy student buys, this text was one of the least expensive and most used.I hope this review helps your decision to purchase this! And good luck!
This is a recommended textbook where I work. I like the fact that it teaches concepts vastly differently from the required textbook that I teach out of....Thus, students who are unable to understand one way may be able to understand after using this text. I also like that students can write and practice problems directly in this book.
the book is a good text for doing pharmaceutical calculations, although i did not open it during pharmacy school since the professor had everything we needed on powerpoint. other students told me, as well as the professor, that the answers in the book are not always right
the book explains all the problems. THe answers are right after each set of porblems, not at the end. It is clear.
i'm currently a pharmacy student and we used this book for our class. every chapter is easy to read and gives you every step along the way to the answer so you can pick up on how to do it without that much of a problem if you've never done it before. since taking the course, i've used this book as a reference several times to do my every day coursework and answer some other questions that i've received outside of school. you can't go wrong with this book or the one by Ansel.
Wouldn't have survived first year of pharmacy calculation if it wasn't for this book! I still keep it for review, when I'm stuck with compounding problem. This book is a lifesaver!
Great Book! Was everything I needed. There are a few errors in the book, but other than that it fulfilled it's purpose, and is an easy read. Great price, fast shipping, worth it.
This book was purchased for my pharmacy calculations class. It contained a ridiculous about of errors in the answer key. It was obviously not proofread well.
