This book is ideal for one- or two-semester or two- orthree-quarter courses covering topics in college algebra, finite mathematics,and calculus for students in business, economics, and the life and socialsciences. Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life andSocial Sciences provides a mathematical foundation for students in avariety of fields and majors. The authors establish an emphasis on algebraiccalculations that sets this text apart from other introductory, appliedmathematics books. Because the process of calculating variables builds skillsin mathematical modeling, this emphasis paves the way for students to solvereal-world problems that use calculus. The book's comprehensivestructure-covering college algebra in Chapters 0 through 4, finite mathematicsin Chapters 5 through 9, and calculus in Chapters 10 through 17-offersinstructors flexibility in how they use the material based on the coursethey're teaching, the semester they're at, or what the students' backgroundallows and their needs dictate.

The Student Solutions Manual provides completely worked-out solutions to all odd-numbered problems in the text.

NOTE: Before purchasing, check with your instructor to ensure you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, and registrations are not transferable. To register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products, you may also need a Course ID, which your instructor will provide. Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for students 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 manageability for teachers and learning for students. The table of contents covers a wide range of topics efficiently, enabling instructors to tailor their courses to meet student needs.
