Overview
Finite Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences is an applications-focused text that helps you build a strong foundation with solid coverage of college algebra, followed by topics in finite mathematics. It can be used for a variety of courses across many majors, and only a basic background in algebra is required as a prerequisite. Helpful learning features like Checkpoint Exercises give you the opportunity to pause, check your understanding of a concept, and move forward confidently. Case Studies at the end of each chapter offer up-to-date, real-world applications of the mathematics presented in the chapter.
Among many other enhancements, the 13th Edition significantly updates applications and examples to make them as interesting as possible. Throughout, 700 new or updated exercises and 100 new examples modernize the data and exercises.
