DESCRIPTION:
"I would recommend this book to undergraduate students in mathematics, economics, engineering who are interested in finite mathematics." (Zentralblatt MATH 2016) would recommend this book to
In addition to extensive chapters on probability and statistics, principles and applications of matrices are included as well as topics for enrichment such as the Monte Carlo method, game theory, kinship matrices, and dynamic programming. In order to emphasize the main concepts of each chapter, Finite Mathematics: Models and Applications features plentiful pedagogical elements throughout such as special exercises, end notes, hints, select solutions, biographies of key mathematicians, boxed key principles, a glossary of important terms and topics, and an overview of use of technology. The book encourages the modeling of linear programs and their solutions and uses common computer software programs such as LINDO. Features step-by-step examples based on actual data and connects fundamental mathematical modeling skills and decision making concepts to everyday applicabilityFeaturing key linear programming, ma
Combines theory & application in Finite Mathematics: explanations, worked examples, questions and real - life applications. As a mathematics tutor I was very pleased to be offered this book, which focuses on Finite Mathematics, the name given to the grouped topics of linear programming, matrix algebra and chance and probability. All three mathematical disciplines have evolved and developed over the last seventy years, following the huge advances in mathematical sciences post World War II.The categorisation of 'Finite Mathematics' covers a wide base, the three topics having very broad applications. The target audience for this book is equally broad: students in business, economics, environmental and social sciences, "including many in the arts and humanities".To
