Essential Laboratory Mathematics

This hands-on manual, with pedagogical features that draw the learner into the content, offers clear and complete coverage of the mathematical topics most often used in today’s clinical and medical laboratories. Furthermore, it provides a solid foundation for subsequent courses in the laboratory sciences. The first two chapters present a review of basic mathematical concepts. The remainder of the book provides students with a realistic means to build on previously learned concepts— both mathematical and scientific—to refine their mathematical skills, and to gauge their mastery of those skills. Outstanding features . . . • Each chapter opens with an outline, objectives, and key terms. • Key terms, highlighted within the text, are listed and defined in the glossary. • “Margin problems” and practice problem sets provide the chance to gain immediate proficiency. • Laboratory exercises and review problems allow students to apply what they’ve learned and assess their understanding and progress. • A special calculator icon signals explanations of calculator use for a particular mathematical function. • Study hints—“Keys to Success”—offer practical suggestions and guidance for maximizing achievement. • The workbook design enables users to solve problems and take notes directly on the pages.
