For courses in Mathematics for Business and Mathematical Methods in Business.This classic text continues to provide a mathematical foundation for students in business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Abundant applications cover such diverse areas as business, economics, biology, medicine, sociology, psychology, ecology, statistics, earth science, and archaeology. Its depth and completeness of coverage enables instructors to tailor their courses to students' needs. The authors frequently employ novel derivations that are not widespread in other books at this level. The Twelfth Edition has been updated to make the text even more student-friendly and easy to understand.
This accessible text is designed to help readers help themselves to excel. The content is organized into three parts: (1) A Library of Elementary Functions (Chapters 1–2), (2) Finite Mathematics (Chapters 3–9), and (3) Calculus (Chapters 10–15). The book's overall approach, refined by the authors' experience with large sections of college freshmen, addresses the challenges of learning when readers' prerequisite knowledge varies greatly. Reader-friendly features such as Matched Problems, Explore & Discuss questions, and Conceptual Insights, together with the motivating and ample applications, make this text a popular choice for today's students and instructors.
Haeussler and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for readers 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 learning for readers. The table of contents covers a wide range of topics efficiently, enabling readers to gain a diverse understanding.

Calculus for Business, Economics, and the Social and Life Sciences introduces calculus in real-world contexts and provides a sound, intuitive understanding of the basic concepts students need as they pursue careers in business, the life sciences, and the social sciences. The new Ninth Edition builds on the straightforward writing style, practical applications from a variety of disciplines, clear step-by-step problem solving techniques, and comprehensive exercise sets that have been hallmarks of Hoffmann/Bradley's success through the years.
Thistitle is a Pearson Global Edition. 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. MyLab Math should only bepurchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearsonrepresentative for more information.
