Full Description
For freshman/sophomore, second-semester or second and third quarter courses covering finite mathematics for students in management or the natural and social sciences.
A strong foundation and logical progression through finite math and calculus
The unique organization of Finite Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences gives students four chapters of college algebra, rather than the usual two, before moving into finite math and calculus. From there, the authors build upon familiar foundations and then move to new concepts; students are shown concrete examples before learning general rules and formulas.
With an ongoing focus on real-world problem solving, almost every section in the 12th Edition includes relevant, contemporary applications and fine-tuned pedagogical devices. A prior course in basic algebra is assumed.
Also available with MyLab Math
By combining trusted authors' content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.
