Is maths necessary while taking up medical field as i am poor in maths but good at science.?

Answer 1

Math is incredibly important in Medicine.
1) You can't understand statistics and epidemiology without a strong background in math.
2) You'll never be able to understand cardiac and respiratory physiology, which are based on flows and pressures, without a strong background in math.
3) Your patient weighs 90 kilograms. The appropriate dose of drug A is 5 milligrams per kilogram. The drug comes in the form of a liquid that has 100 milligrams per milliliter. How many milliliters of drug should you inject? By the way, anything over 60 milligrams per kilogram will kill them and less than 40 milligrams per kilogram won't fix them, so you'd better get the math right.

First, though, I'd work on you Englishes and grammars.

(90 kg * 5 mg/kg = 450 mg / 100 mg/mL = 4.5 mL) I hope your patient is alive!

Answer 2

That depends on what level of education you're at now that you're having trouble with. If it's, say, university level calculus that's proving to be difficult, you won't be using it often in most medical fields anyway. If, on the other hand, you're having trouble with high school algebra, that's going to be a more difficult situation for you. In any medical field, you need to know a fair bit of math, because it comes up in things like research papers (which you ought to read and be able to understand) and especially in the pharmaceutical end of things - dosage rates, drug concentrations, etc. There are also some more vague concepts, like quantitative reasoning and logical stuff, that often (but not always) comes along with being good at math. But, like one of the previous posters mentioned, it's nothing you can't work hard at - the amount of math you'll actually be using once you're in a medical field is often a lot less than the math they want you to have done to get into med school in the first place.

Answer 3

I think you can even skip appearing for maths exam in CET.
Only u have to appear for physic, Biology and score good marks in CET.u will be eligible for medical seat. First 500 rank will be free sear rest will be payment seat you can decide.

Answer 4

sorry to say, but you'd have to use math. for example, if you want to be a doctor, you have to measure all of the medicine you have to give. you can't give them too high of a dose or to low. if you want to be a pharmicist, its the same thing. hate me as much as you want, but thats the truth. however, even though you suck at math doesn't mean you can't do well in either of those professions.

Answer 5

Yes, you need to have a strong background in Physics. The analytical skills are very important as well. Just work on it. Things are only as hard as you make them.

Answer 6

You will need to understand statistics in order to evaluate the medical literature.

Answer 7

Not at all important. i dont hink that it is required in medical field. about 90% people think about it. It is required for engineering.

Answer 8

NO , maths is not required to do medical.

Answer 9

Im sure its important but not as much as english and science.

Answer 10

no it's not at all important.if ur interested in medical field.
