I recently purchased Essential Math and Calculations for Pharmmacy Technicians by author, Moini. It definetly is a great choice! It is very easy to comprehend and full of useful information. I have purchased a few books by Dr. Moini, and have been pleased with all of them. But this one is by far his best! Awesome book! If you're in the Pharmacy field, I highly recommend this book as a great tool toward success! It is worth it.
Thank you!
