A large number of the applications are based on real, referenced data from business, economics, the life sciences, and the social sciences. Thorough, clearly delineated spreadsheet and TI Graphing Calculator instruction appears throughout the book. Acclaimed for its readability and supported by the authors' popular website, this book will help you grasp and understand mathematics—whatever your learning style may be.
Reflecting Cengage Learning's commitment to offering value for students, this new hybrid edition features the instructional presentation found in the full text while delivering all of end-of-section exercises online in Enhanced WebAssign. Access to Enhanced WebAssign includes the new media-rich Cengage YouBook, giving you an interactive learning experience with the convenience of a text that is both brief and affordable. MATHEMATICAL 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.
This best selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, so that when students finish the course, they have a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. This comprehensive, evenly paced book provides complete coverage of the function concept and integrates substantial graphing calculator materials that help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors’ attention to detail and clarity, as in James Stewart’s market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
Incorporating an innovative modeling approach, this book for a one-semester differential equations course emphasizes conceptual understanding to help users relate information taught in the classroom to real-world experiences. Certain models reappear throughout the book as running themes to synthesize different concepts from multiple angles, and a dynamical systems focus emphasizes predicting the long-term behavior of these recurring models. Users will discover how to identify and harness the mathematics they will use in their careers, and apply it effectively outside the classroom.

New from James Stewart and Dan Clegg, BRIEF APPLIED CALCULUS, International Edition takes an intuitive, less formal approach to calculus without sacrificing the mathematical integrity. Featuring a wide range of applications designed to motivate students with a variety of interests, clear examples detailing important mathematical processes, and a vast collection of exercises appropriate for students with disparate skill sets, this first edition is perfect for students who need to learn how to apply calculus concepts rather than replicate the formal proofs behind the techniques. Early coverage of exponential and logarithmic functions allows for the inclusion of many interesting applications throughout the text. Available with a range of supplements including Enhanced WebAssign®, BRIEF APPLIED CALCULUS, International Edition makes calculus approachable so any student can understand the concepts and be successful in the course.
Introduction to Technical Mathematics, Fifth Edition, has been thoroughly revised and modernized with up-to-date applications, an expanded art program, and new pedagogy to help today’s students relate to the mathematics they are learning. The new edition continues to provide a thorough review of arithmetic and a solid foundation in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. In addition to thousands of exercises, the examples in this text include a wealth of applications from various technological fields: electronics, mechanics, civil engineering, forestry, architecture, industrial engineering and design, physics, chemistry, and computer science. To enhance your course, the fifth edition is now available with Addison-Wesley’s MathXL® and MyMathLab ® technologies.
This book covers all the titles related to algebra and calculus and their usage in real life for the undergraduate level. The topics that are covered within this book are a system of linear equations and matrices, probability and statistics, linear programming, limits derivatives and applications, integration, differential equations, and mathematical induction. The first chapter deals with matrices and determinants and teaches various aspects and operations of each of the two. Also, you may learn to solve real-life situations.The second chapter focuses on probability and statistics. The third chapter deals with linear programming with all their necessary sub-topics like linear inequalities, properties associated with them, graphing and practical problems.The fourth chapter deals with limits, derivatives, continuity, differentiability, and teaches various aspects and operations related to them. Also, you may learn to solve real-life situations.The fifth chapter deals with integration. The sixth chapter deals with differential equations, which include first and second-order differential equations, methods used to solve them, linear differential equations, partial differential equations, exact differential equations, and solutions of some other types differential equations.The seventh chapter deals with mathematical induction, which includes the principle of mathematical inductions and its applications.
Books a la Carte are unbound, three-hole-punch versions of the textbook. This lower cost option is easy to transport and comes with same access code or media that would be packaged with the bound book. Finite Mathematics and Calculus with Applications, Ninth Edition, by Lial, Greenwell, and Ritchey, is our most applied text to date, making the math relevant and accessible for students of business, life science, and social sciences. Current applications, many using real data, are incorporated in numerous forms throughout the book, preparing students for success in their professional careers. With this edition, students will find new ways to get involved with the material, such as “Your Turn” exercises and “Apply It” vignettes that encourage active participation.
