Business Mathematics


Book Description

"The fifteenth edition of Business Mathematics has been significantly revised to update the text, improve the discussions, and make the material more relevant to students. The focus on real-world applications has been sharpened. A different well-known company is highlighted at the beginning of each chapter and used throughout the chapter in examples, discussions, exercises, and a case at the end. Each chapter ends with two business application cases that will help students integrate concepts from the chapter. This edition is full of data, examples, graphs, photographs, and news clippings that will help students understand the relevance of the material as it teaches them to interpret data and information. A global perspective is emphasized through examples and exercises that highlight issues in other countries. This book shows students how to use math to solve a wide variety of problems in business and also within families. Primary goals are to develop students' understanding of business, increase their ability to figure out how to work many different kinds of business problems, and motivate them using many actual business applications to which they can relate"--
