College Mathematics for Business, Economics, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences helps you “get the idea” in your finite math & applied calculus or mathematics for business course. It offers more built-in guidance than any other text available, with special emphasis on applications and prerequisite skills. If necessary, a host of features help you catch up or learn on your own; and its flexible structure makes it ideal for many different student needs. It is organized into 3 parts: A Library of Elementary Functions (Chapters 1-2), Finite Mathematics (Chapters 3-8, 15), and Calculus (Chapters 9-14). The 14th Edition is enhanced by a design refresh, updated data and applications,and more.
