The third edition of this text has been revised for improved clarity and streamlined to fit a one-semester course. It includes a broad variety of applications, from economics and finance to natural and social science.
The exposition is self-contained, complemented by diverse exercises and also accompanied by an introduction to mathematical reasoning ... this book is an excellent textbook for a one-semester undergraduate course and it includes a lot of additional material to choose from.
