College Mathematics

From the motivating chapter openers to the practical, real-world illustrations drawn from real data and workday situations, this text was written to capture business students' attention. This extensively revised edition is comprised of two others from the Tan Series--Applied Finite Mathematics, Fourth Edition, and Calculus for Managerial, Life, and Social Sciences, Third Edition. Praised through two editions for its interesting applications and exercises, the Third Edition retains these strengths, along with its strong treatment of systems of equations. This text is ideal for the freshman/sophomore course that provides one semester of finite math and one semester for students in the managerial, life, or social sciences.
