About this Item

orig.wrappers Minor rubbing. An ink mark to bottom page-edge. VG. 23x15cm, ix,262 pp., PAPERBACK. "Written for a broad audience of students in mathematics, computer science,operations research, statistics, and engineering, this textbook presents a short, lively survey of several fascinating non-calculus topics in modern applied mathematics. Coverage includes probability, mathematical finance, graphs, linear programming, statistics, computer science algorithms, and groups. A key feature is the abundance of interesting examples not normally found in standard finite mathematics courses, such as options pricing and arbitrage, tournaments, and counting formulas. The author assumes a level of mathematical sophistication at the beginning calculus level, that is, students should have had at least a course in pre-calculus, and the added sophistication attained from studying calculus would be useful" - Publisher's description.
