One major drawback: There is no solutions manual. Granted, the answers are at the ends of chapters, and this is all right for the most part. But there are some questions for which a simple answer is inadequate. Either the chapter lesson leaves the student unprepared to answer the question, or the wording of the question is ambiguous, so the student has to work backwards from the answer. A book of highly technical calculations, especially by the 13th edition should have a solutions manual.
This book in my opinion is a waste of money. It's poorly written, the expamples in each chapter are nothing like examples given in classroom setting, the author uses his own method of solving problems. The end of chapter exercises are pointless to do because they only provide the answer and not how they got to the answer.
This book helped a lot in our Pharmaceutics class. Though it was not required as a textbook I did find it helpful to explain a lot of the calculations in class and showed a lot of more helpful ways to do Pharmaceutical calculations than was shown in class. Very straightforward and easy to understand the methods they show in the book.
If you are a professor choosing a textbook for your pharmaceutical calculations class, I would strongly suggest looking for another book. I am currently in a pharm calc course, and this is our book. The explanations are simply not there for how to solve the problems in this book, which is somewhat okay until you get past everyday dosage/qty type calculations that any pharmacy employee can do in his/her head. There has to be a better textbook out there. Keep looking.
A good book overall to have to study for calculations class and for the NAPLEX exam. For the price it is worth the investment to purchase and keep to study for the NAPLEX. Or for those who don't want to purchase it, or decide to return it, make sure you keep your notes from the calculations course to reveiw (if needed) for that section of the NAPLEX.
NOT A GOOD BOOK!! THE ANSWERS ARE NOT ENOUGH!! DOES NOT MATTER IF ANSWERS ARE IN THE BACK OF EACH CHAPTER. THIS BOOK DEFINITELY NEEDS A SOLUTIONS MANUAL!! ASAP!! WASTE OF MONEY. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO USE THIS BOOK.
the book is ok sometimes but most of the time it's only the answers at the end of the chapters and not how to do them. there are many problems I have to work on for a long time and look at other texts just to solve. The chapters are inadequate to solve some of the end of chapter problems without further help or rigorous contemplation.
This is the book utilized to teach pharmacy calculations to future pharmacists. It is a book that will explain the concepts and basic understandings required to perform pharmaceutical calculations.
