A pharmacist need not know math for his job. So if he is personally interested in math, he may take the preliminary classes of math according to his standard of math.
I strongly suggest you know the basics of algebra. The basics include knowing how to solve the following equation for x: 3x + 5(2x+1) = 2.5x-4 If you don't, take algebra. On a side note, I always recommend knowing precalculus or calculus.
That is based on my own personal opinion in that I feel that at some point all people should learn more math than they are subjected to in their careers, just so they get theoretical applications to the content from previously taken classes and so they can pass a different way of thinking onto their kids.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
