Allied Health

Ideal as a supplement for freshman/sophomore-level courses in Allied Health Chemistry, Principles of Chemistry, Preparatory Chemistry. This workmanual is especially designed for students who are uncomfortable with — or underprepared for — the math of applied chemistry. Easy to read and follow, it is written in clear, simple language using a friendly, personal style that removes the mystery from the math and reveals “tricks of the trade” for reading and solving word problems, for choosing among alternative techniques for similar problems, etc. An abundance of questions and problems — with immediate feedback — provide ample opportunity for skill reinforcement.

• Uses a minimum of technical vocabulary. Pg.___

  • Highlights chemical terms and defines them in a glossary. Pg.___

• Features a large print size, and uses shaded boxes and circles to highlight important features in chemical principles. Pg.___

• Presents all concepts in logical sequence. Pg.___

• Structures each chapter to be self- contained and to offer multiple exposures to the math methods presented:

  • Each math skill that repeats throughout the book is explained each time the skill appears. Pg.___

• Avoids theoretical topics. Pg.___

• Fully explains all problem types. Pg.___

• Reveals the “tricks of the trade”:

  • For reading and understanding word problems. Pg.___

  • Shortcuts used to speed up the process of working math problems — regardless of the science involved. Pg.___

  • Alternative techniques for solving the same type of problem. Pg.___

• Provides practice exercises in Questions and Problems sections at the end of each chapter. Pg.___

  • Presents problems in differing styles to expose students to multiple ways of wording the same type of problem. Pg.___

  • Gives solutions and/or answers for all problems (at the end of the manual). Pg.___
