Review
"For someone with less medical math experience, this book would be a good way to lead them from basic math skills to more complicated medical math problems ." (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America , 2011)
"I consider this little book very useful and usually user-friendly. As an instructor, I will continue to use and recommend it to veterinary technician students as well as veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and others who want to learn or refresh their medical math skills." (The Vin Store, March 12, 2010)
"Should be required reading for all veterinary students and veterinary technician students." (Doody's, February, 2010)
"Bill (veterinary pharmacology, Purdue U. School of Veterinary Medicine) has updated the original edition by providing new sections of dilutions and fluid therapy, new illustrations and more detailed information on dosages." (Book News, December 2009)

A second, updated edition substantially revising its topics,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Medical Mathematics and Dosage Calculations for Veterinary Professionals (Paperback)
Robert Bill's pocket-sized handbook MEDICAL MATHEMATICS AND DOSAGE CALCULATIONS appears in its second, updated edition substantially revising topics ranging from basic math to the latest drug prescription and dosing information. Step-by-step instructions for calculating dosages, concentrations and more have been revised to include more details on the calculations, expanding chapters with new drawings and offering all the basics in new sections, as well. No practicing vet's library should be without it.
