Most colleges and universities now require their non-science majors to take a one- or two-semester course in mathematics. Taken by 300,000 students annually, finite mathematics is the most popular. Updated and revised to match the structures and syllabuses of contemporary course offerings, Schaum's Outline of Beginning Finite Mathematics provides a thorough review-- with worked examples--of the fundamentals of linear equations and linear growth. Topics covered include games theory, descriptive statistics, normal distribution, probability, binomial distribution, and voting systems and apportionment.

2.0 out of 5 stars
A poor outline on the mathematics of business,
This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Beginning Finite Mathematics (Paperback)
This book is too elementary for college students needing to know finite mathematics, which usually refers to the mathematics related to operations management specifically and finance in general. Also, it contains some theoretical material on set theory and the equation of a line that seem to be out of place. There is also some material on geometry that doesn't really belong. Instead, I suggest the older out-of-print "Schaum's Outline of Finite Mathematics" published in 1994 by the same author. That book covers a more appropriate set of mathematical topics geared towards the student of finance. Also, there are not the numerous errors in that older outline that seem to plague this book.

Good for review only,
By Trevor Schwab (AZ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Beginning Finite Mathematics (Paperback)
In my opinion this book should be use for review only, and not for learning Finite math. But maybe that goes without saying for Schaum's books.This book has MANY errors in the solutions to the supplementary questions, so a knowledge of the concepts is already important in order to identify where the authors made mistakes (in the first 46 pages alone, there are 7 incorrect solutions given). But like I said, for reviewing what you may have learned years ago, this is a cheap resource.
