I actually did a Career Fair on being a Pharmacist, so I think I can help.
Math is used in a pharmacist's activities in many ways. Pharmacists have to use math to figure out how much of a chemical or substance should be allowed in the medicine being created. The prescription also has to have the right amount of the drug in it. Math plays a pretty big role in Pharmacy school, but if your taking classes, don't forget Medicine or Chemistry. I love all three of these subjects, and hope to be a pharmacist.
