Course in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Arithmetic: Including Weights and Measures

By Julius William Sturmer

"Course in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Arithmetic" is a detailed educational guide focused on the mathematical principles essential for the practice of pharmacy and chemistry. Created by Julius William Sturmer, this work serves as a foundational resource for mastering the calculations required in compounding, laboratory analysis, and the dispensing of medications.

The text provides a thorough exploration of weights and measures, covering the metric system, the apothecary system, and the avoirdupois system with clarity and precision. Readers are guided through complex topics such as specific gravity, percentage solutions, and the accurate calculation of doses. By bridging the gap between theoretical mathematics and practical application, the volume ensures that practitioners possess the quantitative skills necessary to maintain safety and accuracy in pharmaceutical environments.

This work stands as an important historical document in medical education, reflecting the rigorous standards of the early 20th century. Its systematic approach to chemical and pharmaceutical arithmetic makes it a valuable reference for students, historians of science, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the quantitative roots of modern pharmacy.
