Description
Discover the relevance of mathematics in your own life as you master important concepts and skills in Waner/Costenoble�s FINITE MATHEMATICS AND APPLIED CALCULUS, 8th Edition. Updated, numerous examples and applications use real data from well-known businesses and economic and current life events -- from cryptocurrency to COVID -- to demonstrate how the principles you are learning impact you. Readable, streamlined content clearly presents concepts while numerous learning features and tools help you review and practice. Spreadsheet and TI graphing calculator instructions appear where needed. In addition, WebAssign online tools and an interactive eTextbook include teaching videos by an award-winning instructor. You can refine your skills in the necessary math prerequisites with additional examples and powerful adaptive practice sessions. A helpful website from the authors also offers online tutorials and videos on each mathematics topic to support your learning.
