I don't like the ebook. I actually just bought it in paperback now. There are some errors which can be frustrating because I am not a math person. If I get the wrong answer I will keep doing the problem til I get the right answer. If the answer is wrong I end up wasting my time trying to get the wrong answer. Other than that I like how the book is designed. I like the explanations so far. I'll still be using this book for 3 more semesters which is why I bought a paper copy. I wish ebooks could be tested before you purchase. This is my second ebook I purchased that I wish I had bought the paper copy.
This was required for my nursing program. It gives easy to follow instructions and I think it's useful. I have found some mistakes with the answers they give to certain problems but not all of them have mistakes.
The set-up is great, but there are far too many errors in the answer keys and even on the power point slides (I am an instructor). I am switching books for next year. Students get frustrated with the errors.
The book was required for school and so I bought it. It is overall very good and very detailed in the descriptions of problems. However, there are some misprints on some practice questions. (The answer is wrong in the book) The method to do some problems is also different then they way I am learning it in my nursing school. Basically though it gives you a lot of basic information and overall a good book.
Very Helpful. Provides numerous examples and explanations. Provides practice question and test style questions with answers in the book. My book came with a CD that I never used since the book was helpful enough, but my friends say that it was helpful becuase it have power points and many more helpful stuff.
Dumb book required for class, never once cracked it open, passed my med calc test with 100%. Maybe if you suck at math this is good--I admit--but it's basically 5th grade math, nothing complex.However, other people did say that it is a good book, and I trust them.
This book is full of errors in its practice problems and solutions. I felt I couldn't trust working out the problems. Nurses aren't supposed to make medication errors yet this book is full of them.
This book is easy to understand and has good illustrations. I do think the way the problems are solved in examples has a few more steps than necessary (and I use dimensional analysis too).
