Description
Taking great care to be mathematically correct and highly accessible to students, this text prepares students to deal with finite mathematics - a collection of important topics from mathematics of finance, linear algebra, linear programming, probability, and statistics - and calculus - a traditional subject now used extensively in a wide variety of disciplines. Stressing computational skills, ideas, and problem solving (rather than mathematical theory), it highlights the interplay between geometric, algebraic, and numerical ideas - encouraging students to verbalize these concepts - and shows how to effectively use such modern technology as graphic calculators and computers.
