Pharmaceutical Calculations 4th Edition

Is this book a "have to purchase" resource? No. I would expect that any college student who knows any high school algebra would be capable of figuring out the majority of this material. However, the style of the book's practice questions is excellent. It provides multiple examples, then practice questions with solutions, then further practice questions with answers at the end of the section. I found this book to be useful through pharmaceutics, p-col, kinetics, and compounding.Bottom line: if you are on a tight budget and like to learn by practice (with explanatory solutions) then I would not pass this relatively inexpensive resource up. Out of all the text a pharmacy student buys, this text was one of the least expensive and most used.I hope this review helps your decision to purchase this! And good luck!

i'm currently a pharmacy student and we used this book for our class. every chapter is easy to read and gives you every step along the way to the answer so you can pick up on how to do it without that much of a problem if you've never done it before. since taking the course, i've used this book as a reference several times to do my every day coursework and answer some other questions that i've received outside of school. you can't go wrong with this book or the one by Ansel.

This is a recommended textbook where I work. I like the fact that it teaches concepts vastly differently from the required textbook that I teach out of....Thus, students who are unable to understand one way may be able to understand after using this text. I also like that students can write and practice problems directly in this book.

the book is a good text for doing pharmaceutical calculations, although i did not open it during pharmacy school since the professor had everything we needed on powerpoint. other students told me, as well as the professor, that the answers in the book are not always right

Lots of errors but I was forced to buy this for pharmacy school. The book is not very organized and does not explain everything very well.

We needed this for a class, so I had no choice but to buy it. Each time I went to look something up, I felt that it took me an hour to find it. That said, it is an okay supplement to lectures.

Wouldn't have survived first year of pharmacy calculation if it wasn't for this book! I still keep it for review, when I'm stuck with compounding problem. This book is a lifesaver!

It's a huge inconvenience, because in my class we are assigned problems on certain page numbers in the book, but in this ebook there are no page numbers!!!
