What kind of math is used in medical field? Please give examples.?

I'm a student grade 11, and planning to major in medical field to be a doctor and I was wondering what kind of mathematical calculations doctors usually do, because after doing some research on being in medical field it is recommended that we take as much of science and math.





So far I've taken algebra 1%26amp;2, still taking Trig but not seeing how x's and y's , log, and all other mess relate to medical stuff.





Can someone show an example of math calculations covered in all of the different math classes and how they relate to medical stuff?

What kind of math is used in medical field? Please give examples.?
First of all, believe it or not, algebra is far and beyond the really important stuff. How to convert simple milligrams, to grams for example. Also, volumes or blood in liters, or gases I.E. liters of oxygen. Multiplying, and how much is left, or how much is needed, after doing certain things.





Some times you might need to understand sine/cosine waves, on scopes, too.





But sometimes, you'd better understand percentages, and the decimal system.
Reply:Statistics are used a lot in medical research. Doctor's also have to use math when determining how much of a medication to prescribe to a person (usually based on age and/or weight).
Reply:well you need to know how to make factor/label conversions for medicines.
Reply:You're asking for a lot.





All of applied mathematics may be useful in a medical career. One needs to know statistics and probability, for example, in order to understand the findings published in medical research papers (e.g. New England Journal of Medicine).
