Applied Finite Mathematics - Hardcover

Written with the needs of business-oriented students in mind, this book takes a real-life application, problem-solving approach to make the subject accessible and understandable. The text is designed to give students a background in quantitative techniques and lay a foundation for more advanced courses, such as statistics and operations research. Wherever possible the author uses an intuitive approach to present new mathematical concepts, often in terms of real-life settings, to make the material more meaningful. Results are often presented informally without compromising the mathematical content and accuracy to help the students understand new material.
