Clinical Laboratory Mathematics is part of Pearson's Clinical Laboratory Science series of textbooks, which is designed to balance theory and practical applications in a way that is engaging and useful to stu- dents. The author of Clinical Laboratory Mathematics presents highly detailed technical information and effective tools that will help beginning learners envision themselves as members of a healthcare team, while helping advanced learners and practitioners continue their education. The synergy of theoretical and practical information in this text enables learners to analyze data and synthesize conclusions.  We hope that this book, as well as the entire series, proves to be a valuable educational resource.
