Applied Finite Mathematics

Applied Finite Mathematics is designed for use in a one-term course in finite mathematics primarily taken by students majoring in business, economics, technological sciences, and the life and social sciences. This new edition is an extensive revision based on numerous user and reviewer suggestions. However, it still retains the straightforward style, intuitive approach, and applications orientation of the previous edition. The flexible organization and rich selection of topics make the book easy to adapt to a wide variety of syllabi. The text is applications-oriented. Each new concept is applied to myriad practical situations. The techniques and strategies needed to solve applied problems are stressed. The applications are drawn from a number of disciplines and are identified for reference. A new full-color design makes the book more visually appealing and benefits students who think geometrically rather than linearly.
