Finite Mathematics (Schaums Outline Series in Mathematics and Statistics) [Hardcover]

Daniel P. Maki (Author), Maynard Thompson (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0070397511 | ISBN-13: 978-0070397514 | Publication Date: January 1989 | Edition: 3rd

"Finite Mathematics" is designed for the one-term course in finite math taken primarily by students majoring in business, economics, life sciences, and the social sciences. The mathematical integrity of the previous edition has been maintained in the new edition. The core topics and their applications are presented in Parts One and Two of this text, and additional applications are developed in Part Three. Parts One and Two are independent of one another, thus either probability or linear mathematics may be studied first. The authors' emphasis is on developing and testing the student's problem-solving ability. They use discussions and examples to illustrate ideas and techniques to aid the student in acquiring these skills. Some examples and exercises are straightforward computation, while others require that the problem be solved by combining several techniques. Since it is impossible to provide examples of every type of problem the student will encounter in the text, the authors have identified and treated the fundamental principles that should be used in unfamiliar situations.

Finite math is use as a teaching material in my applied math class. i found it easy to understand and the examples guide you to a thorough understanding. It is a steping stone before you go futher to other maths.

This review is from: Finite Mathematics, 5th Edition (Paperback)

I am a college student, and I ordered this book almost a month before classes started and just now received it, 2 weeks late. I had to buy the book on campus which cost me an extra $80 because this product was not shipped in the timeframe it should have been. If you use this seller make sure you set a specific date for shipping. i dont understand why it would take 30 days for a book to be shipped not even 2 states over.
