Description

Written in easy-to-understand language and emphasizing practical calculations that pharmacists do every day, this revised and updated edition of Understanding Pharmacy Calculations guides student pharmacists through the sometimes overwhelming introduction to the subject.

  • • Written in a light-hearted, frequently humorous style to maintain student interest and put even “math-phoebes” at ease
