In the video short, workplace
mathematics / pharmacist, Sofia Wong discussed attending Walgreen
primary school, then attended the
University of Manchester to get her pharmacist degree. I took her
four years to finish, plus one year of
pre requisite training. Sofia went down the science route but
was originally very interested in art.
Interestingly, Math was not her strong point but she successfully
completed those course requirements When
Sofia completed her Pre requisite exam,she could not
use calculators Poonam Aggarwal, a
pharmacist, shows how to use a Pascal's triangle to count out
medication. She counts 15 tablets then
explains the numbers and how many rows you should have in
each row to get the number of tablets
you want. Sofia explains how math is more widely used in the
industrial sector because of figuring
weight and mass of a human is required to get the right dosage.
She explained that everyday you fill
prescriptions and have to figure out the quantities and dosages to
ensure dosage is not too powerful or not
sufficient enough. Sophia also explains how antibiotics can
come in a powder form and how one must
use math to figure out how much liquid should be added to get
the correct dosage. Sofia Wong wraps up the video by discussing how valuable math is
and how going to a good school put her
in the position she is in now.
