Description

A student-oriented text featuring an intuitive strategy for understanding mathematical theories as they apply to the management, social and life sciences, this text offers straightforward coverage of the application of finite mathematics providing a range of real-life applications to reinforce the practicality of the material. Practice problems focus on areas that have proven to be potentially confusing or are likely to be overlooked. More than 1900 exercises are included, ranging from the simple to the challenging, and each chapter includes a key-point checklist to help students better understand important topics in each section.
