This book was recommended to me by Dr. Margi Sirois,who has a forward in this book. It covers basic fractions,decimals,scientific notation,dimensional analysis,sqc,anesthesia,constant rate infusions,oral medications,ratio and proportion,percentages and alot more.Small textbook written in easy to understand format.Also has word problems.Highly recommend to everyone even if you are or are not good at math. it is a must have in every techs library.

I'm halfway through my Vet Tech training and have been struggling with some of the very basic formulas and calculations for a while now. I'm not stupid, but I do struggle with math sometimes. We only go over a little math in every course, but every instructor teaches it a different way (it seems) and no one's taught it in the way that I've understood yet. So I bought this book on my own and started from the basics, worked out the practice problems and it's finally clicking! I recognized the steps from how I was "taught" but it's explained in the way I understand. There are a few more steps on some of them, but by understanding each step now, I can condense the steps on my own and know how/what I'm doing.

I love this book! It is so good. It clearly explains calculations that vet techs need to know. I am a vet tech studying to take the certification exam. This book helped me quite a lot with some of the math that was not explained as well in other books. I would difinitely recommend this book. It even has a chapter on anaesthesia applications, which was not very well covered in my other texts. Overall, a very helpful book that is well woth what I paid for it.
