Introductory Mathematical Analysis: For Business, Economics, and the Life and Social Scienece

Description

Prentice Hall, 2011. – 885 p. – ISBN: 0321643887, 9780321643889Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for students to solve real-world problems that use calculus. Emphasis on developing algebraic skills is extended to the exercises-including both drill problems and applications. The authors work through examples and explanations with a blend of rigor and accessibility. In addition, they have refined the flow, transitions, organization, and portioning of the content over many editions to optimize manageability for teachers and learning for students. The table of contents covers a wide range of topics efficiently, enabling instructors to tailor their courses to meet student needs.Contents: Algebra Review of Algebra Applications and More Algebra Functions and Graphs Lines, Parabolas, and Systems Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Finite Mathematics Mathematics of Finance Matrix Algebra Linear Programming Introduction to Probability and Statistics Additional Topics in Probability Calculus Limits and Continuity Differentiation Additional Differentiation Topics Curve Sketching Integration Methods and Applications of Integration Continuous Random Variables Multivariable Calculus
