Why is math important if you are a vet?

Answer 1

Veterinarians need to have a working knowledge of mathematics through the Algebra II level (solving equations, solving paired equations, etc), basic statistics and probabilities and understand basic calculus (even if you don't actually integrate or differentiate equations on a daily basis).

In the United States, you must pass Calculus I in college before applying to vet school, and some schools require you to pass Calculus II.

Answer 2

Veterinarians (and doctors in general) use math to measure proper dosage (such as weight to time to dose ratio). Math scales are used to define whether something is in a normal range (like height, weight, calorie intake, certain internal levels). Easy math that deals with percentage and other light algebra. No need for calculus or geometry here, but the math must be accurate to avoid over or under dosing.

Answer 3

To apply to vet school, a student needs to complete at least Calculus I and sometimes Calculus II. For a veterinarian working in private practice, a strong understanding of Algebra I and II is vital for calculating fluid rates, drug dosages, etc.

Answer 4

For measuring different doses of medicine etc. Its actually really important so if you're thinking of becoming one study hard!

Answer 5
