Synopsis

Taking great care to be mathematically correct and highly accessible to students, this text prepares students to deal with finite mathematics - a collection of important topics from mathematics of finance, linear algebra, linear programming, probability, and statistics - and calculus - a traditional subject now used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines. Stressing computational skills, ideas, and problem solving (rather than mathematical theory), it highlights the interplay between geometric, algebraic, and numerical ideas - encouraging students to verbalize these concepts - and shows how to effectively use such modern technology as graphic calculators and computers.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Key Benefit: This book prepares readers to deal with finite mathematics - a collection of important topics from mathematics of finance, linear algebra, linear programming, probability, and statistics - and calculus - a traditional subject now used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines. It highlights the interplay between geometric, algebraic, and numerical ideas. It encourages readers to verbalize these concepts, and shows how to effectively use such modern technology as graphic calculators and computers. Key Topics: Provides the essential mathematical tools needed in business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences, and illustrates concepts with numerous and varied 'real-world' applied exercises and examples (over 5,000 problems and 380 numbered and worked-out examples). Other key topic covered include linear programming, Markov chains, derivative, graphing concepts, integrals, and differential equations. Market: For professionals in business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences.
