This introductory text highlights the most important aspects of a wide range of techniques used in the control of the quality of pharmaceuticals. Written with the needs of the student in mind, this clear, practical guide includes self-testing sections with arithmetical examples and tests to help students brush up on their arithmetical skills in an applied context.

Features

• Includes worked calculations to demonstrate mathematics in use for pharmaceutical analysis.
• Focuses on key points rather than a large number of facts to help readers really understand the field as well as pass exams.
