Overview
Finite Mathematics with Applications in the Management, Natural, and Social Sciences helps you build a strong mathematical foundation with 4 chapters of algebra coverage before tackling finite math, a natural progression from foundational to more advanced topics and from concrete examples to general rules and formulas. It motivates through its grounded presentation and real-world applications. The 12th Edition revises and adds new content, applications, learning devices and exercise sets. An abundance of new real-data examples, exercises and applications throughout are noted with a green header that highlights the subject of the problem and ties the content to specific majors. This text is ideal for 2nd-semester or 2nd- and 3rd-quarter courses covering finite mathematics for students in management or the natural and social sciences.

When you purchase an eTextbook subscription, it will last 4 months. You can renew your subscription by selecting Extend subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before your initial term ends.
If you extend your subscription, we'll automatically charge you every month. If you made a one‑time payment for your initial 4‑month term, you'll now pay monthly. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
To avoid the next payment charge, select Cancel subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before the renewal date. You can subscribe again in the future by purchasing another eTextbook subscription.
When you purchase a Channels subscription it will last 1 month, 3 months or 12 months, depending on the plan you chose. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your term unless you cancel it.
We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.

Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
