Reviews

Calculations are explained in great detail in a logical fashion. The formulas are helpful and explained in several ways. The information is presented so that verification for accuracy is easily done. ... Information provided in this text is more complete and detailed than in other math textbooks. I recommend this volume as a textbook or as a supplemental course book. Students could also benefit from Essential Math as a reference book. It should be a very valuable addition to their pharmacy technician library. - Ray Vellenga, Journal of Pharmacy Technology
