This one-semester text incorporates unique case studies and referenced applications to emphasize the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. The... referenced applications include footnotes that reveal their source. In addition to the geometric method, an understandable detailed explanation of the simplex method to solve linear programming problems is given. Chapter-end "Programmable Calculator Experiments" (graphing calculator sections), an instructional appendix on using graphing calculators, and graphing calculator exercises throughout the text allow instructors to integrate technology in their course. "Cumulative Exercises" in every chapter, except the first, provide students with an opportunity for continuous review. Coverage of the binomial theorem and expeced value is now included.

This book presents the content and applications in an accessible manner while maintaining an appropriate level of rigor. The authors proceed from... familiar material to new, and from concrete examples to general rules and formulas. This edition retains its focus on real-world problem solving, but has been refreshed with a wealth of new data in the examples and exercises—42% of the 452 examples are new or revised, and 31% of the 3,741 exercises are new or revised.
