Harshbarger R.J., Reynold J.J. Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences

Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning, 2013. — 1095 p. in color — 10th Ed. — ISBN: 1133106234, 9781133106234Mathematical Applications for the Management, Life, and Social Sciences, 10th Edition, is intended for a two-semester applied calculus or combined finite mathematics and applied calculus course. The book's concept-based approach, multiple presentation methods, and interesting and relevant applications keep students who typically take the course-business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences majors-engaged in the material. This edition broadens the book's real-life context by adding a number of environmental science and economic applications. The use of modeling has been expanded, with modeling problems now clearly labeled in the examples. Also included in the Tenth Edition is a brief review of algebra to prepare students with different backgrounds for the material in later chapters.Contents:
