The interactive CD really helps
As I mentioned in another review on dosage math, dose response curves are driven by simple ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It helps to know the mathematical foundations, but the solutions to the ODEs are intuitive: dose a patient of a given weight, watch the blood level rise, peak, and then begin to decline until the next does is given. Change key parameters, and you don't change the nature of these curves, only the particulars change--peak dose time depends heavily on patient weight for example. The examples in the INTERACTIVE CD really help to solidfy the concepts.
