Full Description
Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences is an applications-focused text that helps you build a strong foundation with solid coverage of college algebra, followed by topics in finite mathematics, and finally a careful treatment of applied calculus. It can be used for a variety of courses across many majors, and only a basic course in algebra is required as a prerequisite. Helpful learning features like Checkpoint Exercises give you the opportunity to pause, check your understanding of a concept, and move forward confidently. Case Studies at the end of each chapter offer up-to-date, real-world applications of the mathematics presented in the chapter.
Among many other enhancements, the 13th Edition significantly updates applications and examples to make them as interesting as possible. Throughout, 884 new or updated exercises and 130 new examples modernize the data and exercises.
