Raktažodžiai:
Ensuring competency in maths skills is a fundamental part of pharmacy education as accurate pharmaceutical calculations are crucial to the safe and effective use of drugs. This text combines both the scientific calculations underpinning dosage forms with calculations relating to pharmacy practice in a single resource.

An innovative student-centred approach is taken throughout the text, with numerous worked examples and self-test questions to stimulate self-directed learning. Frequent case studies highlight the importance of maths to pharmacy, and help students to make that crucial connection between theory and practice, while key take-home messages for each section are summarised in concise learning-point boxes.

Written by leading academics with a wealth of experience in pharmacy education Maths Skills for Pharmacy is the ideal textbook for the subject.

Recenzijos

This book has a good unique selling point due to its integrated and student centred learning approach. The main strength is the integration of the science and practice with a design that has the student's learning in mind. * Dr Maxwell Casely-Hayford, Medway School of Pharmacy, University of Kent * The learning point boxes are excellent, the worked examples are very clear and the case studies help to emphasise the importance of maths to ensure the safe and effective use of medicines. * Mrs Gwen Gray, School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences, Robert Gordon University *
