Math for Health Care Professionals

Math for Health Care Professionals, 2nd Edition, is a foundational textbook that introduces mathematical fundamentals and demonstrates how they are used in real-world health care practice. Designed for both classroom use and independent self-study, the resource assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or health care.

The text pairs core math instruction with applied health care tasks, such as calculating drug dosages. For the 2017 edition, the scope expanded with added chapters on pre-algebra, geometry, and statistics.

Visuals of common health care materials accompany the calculation exercises to give readers practice with workplace math skills. The textbook also serves as the centerpiece of a broader learning package from Cengage Learning.
