About this title

Synopsis:

"Finite Mathematics and its Applications" is designed for use in a one-term course in finite mathematics taken primarily by students majoring in business, economics, the life sciences, or the social sciences. The flexible organization and rich selection of topics make the book easy to adapt to a wide variety of syllabi. The prerequisite for studying the material is two years of high school algebra or the equivalent. This text provides a survey of the essential quantitative ideas and mathematical techniques used in decision-making in a diverse number of disciplines. There is an emphasis on developing an understanding and comprehension of the mathematical methods as well as establishing a sound technical proficiency. The level is easily accessible to students, and there is a strong degree of reliance on intuition.
