The Editorial team at Pearson has workedclosely with educators around the world to include content which is especiallyrelevant to students outside the United States. This book is ideal for one- ortwo-semester or two- or three-quarter courses covering topics in collegealgebra, finite mathematics, and calculus for students in business, economics,and the life and social sciences. Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life andSocial Sciences provides a mathematical foundation for students in avariety of fields and majors. Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish an emphasison algebraic calculations that sets this text apart from other introductory,applied mathematics books. Because the process of calculating variables buildsskills in mathematical modeling, this emphasis paves the way for students tosolve real-world problems that use calculus. Thebook's comprehensive structure--covering college algebra in Chapters 0 through4, finite mathematics in Chapters 5 through 9, and calculus in Chapters 10through 17--offers instructors flexibility in how they use the material based onthe course they're teaching, the semester they're at, or what the students'background allows and their needs dictate. MyLab®Math is not included. Students, if MyLab Math is a recommended/mandatory component of the course,please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN.
