Download Remedial Mathematics B.Pharm 1st Semester reference books as PDF — preview each book, then download free or buy the print edition.
Remedial Mathematics is a bridge course for students who took Biology instead of Mathematics at 10+2, and it gives you the maths toolkit that pharmacy quietly depends on. From partial fractions and logarithms to matrices, calculus and the Laplace transform, the topics are chosen for their real use in pharmacy — they turn up again in chemical kinetics, pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. Don't be put off if maths feels rusty: the syllabus starts from the basics and always links each method back to a pharmacy application. A book with plenty of solved examples is the fastest way to build confidence here, because the exam is almost entirely problem-solving.

What you'll study in Remedial Mathematics
Remedial Mathematics (BP106T) in B.Pharm 1st Semester is organised into these units under the PCI syllabus — the reference books below cover every one:
- Partial fractions & their use in chemical kinetics and pharmacokinetics
- Logarithms — properties, characteristic & mantissa, pharmacy applications
- Functions, limits and continuity
- Matrices & determinants — operations, inverse, Cramer's rule, Cayley–Hamilton
- Calculus — differentiation, maxima/minima and their applications
- Analytical geometry — straight lines and coordinate basics
- Integration — standard formulae, substitution, by parts & definite integrals
- Differential equations & the Laplace transform in pharmacokinetics
Remedial Mathematics syllabus — unit by unit
Here is the full PCI BP106T syllabus for Remedial Mathematics, broken down unit by unit so you can check any reference book covers every topic before you download it:
- Unit I — Partial fractions, logarithms, real-valued functions, and limits and continuity, each linked to pharmaceutical problems.
- Unit II — Matrices and determinants — operations, inverse, solving linear equations, Cramer's rule and the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, applied to pharmacokinetic equations.
- Unit III — Differentiation from first principles, standard derivatives, successive differentiation, and conditions for maxima and minima.
- Unit IV — Analytical geometry (straight lines) and integration — standard formulae, substitution, partial fractions and integration by parts.
- Unit V — Differential equations and the Laplace transform, with applications to chemical kinetics and pharmacokinetics.

How to choose the right Remedial Mathematics book
For Remedial Mathematics, the single most useful feature is worked, step-by-step examples followed by practice problems — the paper is all sums. Choose a book written for the B.Pharm remedial syllabus so the pharmacy applications (kinetics, pharmacokinetics) are included. The Nirali Prakashan edition below fits this well; Grewal's Higher Engineering Mathematics is a solid deeper reference.
Frequently asked questions
Who takes Remedial Mathematics in B.Pharm?
Students who studied Biology (PCB) instead of Mathematics at 10+2 take it as a bridge course to gain the maths skills later pharmacy subjects require.
Which book is best for Remedial Mathematics?
One with lots of solved examples aligned to the B.Pharm remedial syllabus. The Nirali edition above is a common choice; preview it before downloading.
Can I download the Remedial Mathematics PDF for free?
Yes — preview the book above and download it free as a PDF, or buy a print copy.
Is Remedial Mathematics difficult?
It's very manageable with practice. The syllabus starts from basics, and since the exam is problem-based, working through the book's examples quickly builds marks.
Where is this maths actually used in pharmacy?
In chemical kinetics, pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics — partial fractions, calculus and Laplace transforms all reappear when modelling how drugs behave in the body.
