Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life and Social Sciences

by Richard J. Wood, Ernest F. Haeussler Jr., Richard S. Paul, et al.

Book Overview

KEY TOPICS: Haeussler, Paul, and Wood establish a strong algebraic foundation that sets this text apart from other applied mathematics texts, paving the way for readers 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...

Shipping issue

The book came and great condition. But was poorly packaged, the book was hanging out of the packaging, luckily it was not lost in the mail. Other then this it was a great buy.

The book is fine

the only thing i was very not happy with was the shipping because it took so long so I felt behind in my material

Nice book!

This book is really easy to understand. Its language is so simple. Anyone can read and understand it so well, even if your first language is not English. It gives nice examples with details to explain the solutions of the problems. It's about 19 chapters and they are: 0. Algebra Refresher. 1. Equations. 2. Applications of Equations and Inequalities. 3. Functions and Graphs. 4. Line, Parbolas, and Systems. 5. Exponential and Logarthimic Functions. 6. Matrix Algebra. 7. Linear Programming. 8. Mathematics of Finance. 9. Introduction of Probability and Statistics. 10. Additional Topics in Probablity. 11. Limits and Continuity. 12. Differentiation. 13. Additional Differentiation Topics 14. Curve Sketching. 15. Applications of Differentiation 16. Integration. 17. Methods of Applications of Integration. 18. Continuous Random Variables. 19. Multivariable Calculus. I recommend this book for students or readers for business because it teaches the basics of the topics (above)

You've got to have this!

The authors of this book seems to be a mathematician if you take a good look at all his other books. Great for intermediate mathematicians!
