Finite Mathematics for the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences

"Finite Mathematics For the Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences" by S.T. Tan. Eighth Edition. Math is an integral part of our increasingly complex daily life. This book attempts to illustrate this point with its applied approach to mathematics. The objective for this edition is threefold: (1) to write an applied text that motivates students while providing the background in the quantitative techniques necessary to better understand and appreciate the courses normally taken in undergraduate training, (2) to lay the foundation for more advanced courses, such as statistics and operations research, and (30 to make the text a useful tool for instructors. The only prerequisite for understanding this text is 1 to 2 years, or the equivalent, of high school algebra. The textbook offers more than enough material for a one-semester or two-quarter course. There is a wide coverage of topics. The textbook also features Applications, Real-Life Data, Exercise Sets, Review Sections, and the usage of Technology to further integrate students into the world of finite mathematics.
