About this title

From the Back Cover:

Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen, Applied Mathematics, eighth edition provides comprehensive coverage of the topics essential to the mathematical development of students majoring in business, economics, social sciences, or life sciences. The emphasis throughout is on computational skills, ideas, and problem solving―rather than on mathematical theory. Derivations and proofs are included only when necessary.

The Barnett texts are known for their varied applications and thorough exercise sets. The eighth edition continues this high standard. The text is mathematically correct, accessible, and student-friendly. Applied Mathematics succeeds at preparing students to deal with calculus topics when they encounter them outside the mathematics classroom.
