About the Author
Marge Lial has always been interested in math; it was her favorite subject in the first grade! Marge's intense desire to educate both her students and herself has inspired the writing of numerous best-selling textbooks. Marge, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees from California State University at Sacramento, is now affiliated with American River College. Marge is an avid reader and traveler. Her travel experiences often find their way into her books as applications, exercise sets, and feature sets. She is particularly interested in archeology. Trips to various digs and ruin sites have produced some fascinating problems for her textbooks involving such topics as the building of Mayan pyramids and the acoustics of ancient ball courts in the Yucatan.

He taught for many years at the University of Washington (Seattle) before moving to Cleveland State University in 1980. He has been at St. Louis University since 2003. He has written a number of research articles in algebra and several in mathematics education. Dr. Hungerford is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen mathematics textbooks, ranging from high school to graduate level, several of which are published by Addison-Wesley. He is active in promoting the effective use of technology in mathematics instruction. Dr. Hungerford has also been a referee and reviewer for various mathematical journals and has served on National Science Foundation panels for selecting grant recipients.
John P. Holcomb, Jr. received his bachelor's degree from St. Bonaventure University and his Ph.D. from the University at Albany, State University of New York.

Great Book, Very Helpful for my College Course,
By Tyler Fricke (Manitowoc, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finite Mathematics with Applications (10th Edition) (Lial/Hungerford/Holcomb) (Hardcover)
I used this book for my local Community College Topics of Finite Mathmatics class. This book is for business type math....we covered Matrices, Sets & Probability, System of Linear Equations , Simplex Method Maximization and so on. I was lucky enough to have the instructor's editon book, which gave all the answers in the back helpful in understand the problems and doing to homework :) Overall it was a very good book, helped me understand the material and I liked the set up of the problems.
