Book Overview
Sullivan/Mizrahi's Finite Mathematics: An Applied Approach 9/e continues its rich tradition of engaging students and demonstrating how mathematics applies to various fields of study. The text is packed with real data and real-life applications to business, economics, social and life sciences. The new Ninth Edition also features a new full color design and improved goal-oriented pedagogy to further help student understanding. New Features: * NEW Full-color design improves clarity and assists student understanding with consistant pedagogical use of color. * More applications using real data enhances student motivation. Many of these applications include source lines, to show how mathematics is used in the real world. * NEW Conceptual problems ask students to put the concepts and results into their own words. These problems are marked with an icon to make them easier to assign.

At this time, it tops my list of best textbooks for finite mathematics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a long-time teacher of mathematics and computer science at a small college, I have been called upon to teach nearly every class in the math and computer science programs. Finite mathematics is one of those classes and since I am always trolling for the best textbook; that is the context within which I examined this book. The coverage is certainly what I consider the material of a course in finite mathematics. The general subjects are, in order of their coverage: *) Linear equations, linear systems and linear programming *) The basic mathematics of finance *) Set theory and basic combinatorics *) Probability and statistics *) Markov chains *) Logic The exposition is smooth, readable and there are a large number of worked examples, which is the only way my students learn. Technology is included but it is very unobtrusive, a sidelight rather than a focus. A large number of exercises are included at the ends of the chapters and solutions to the odd-numbered problems are included in an appendix. I do not know when I will teach finite mathematics again, but at this time, this book tops my list of possible textbooks.
