For freshman/sophomore, second-semester or second and third quarter courses covering finite mathematics for students in management or the natural and social sciences.

A strong foundation with relevant applications

In Finite Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences, students build a strong foundation with four chapters of algebra coverage before tackling finite mathematics topics. This natural progression from foundational to more advanced topics and from concrete examples to general rules and formulas is apparent throughout the text. Through its grounded presentation and a plethora of real-world applications, this text is designed to motivate students every step along the way.

The 12th Edition retains its logical progression and focus on real-world problem solving, while revising and adding new content, applications, pedagogical devices, and exercise sets. Improvements in these areas were incorporated after careful consideration and extensive feedback from those who teach the course regularly.

A strong foundation and logical progression through finite math and calculus

The unique organization of Finite Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences gives students four chapters of college algebra, rather than the usual two, before moving into finite math and calculus. From there, the authors build upon familiar foundations and then move to new concepts; students are shown concrete examples before learning general rules and formulas. 

With an ongoing focus on real-world problem solving, almost every section in the 12th Edition includes relevant, contemporary applications and fine-tuned pedagogical devices.  A prior course in basic algebra is assumed.
