Publisher's Synopsis
The physics and chemistry chapters in this introductory text for the aspiring health professional are interspersed rather than being integrated throughout the text. Chapter Two, "Measurements", provides a brief mathematics refresher and covers graphs and logarithms necessary for understanding pH, and significant figures. "Science for life" boxes show how important science is for the students' vocational needs and to their daily life. A list of objectives, key terms and revision questions are an essential part of each chapter.
