Slater's Practical Business Math Procedures, First Canadian Edition is designed to provide complete coverage of practical business applications of math. Using carefully selected examples, the book explains when, where, and why students will use acquired skills. It is organized in a logical and teachable format, with unique and motivating pedagogy. Carefully written and developed for Canadian students with different backgrounds, this text provides formula and procedural details in a step-by-step format, superb motivation via articles, colourful format, photos, and scrapbook projects.

New material, including creative and practical approaches provide students with a solid foundation for further courses in business statistics, accounting, marketing, economics, and more.This text is also instructor friendly, and gives teachers the freedom to use the entire text for courses where basic math skills are vital, or to use only selected portions in courses where math is not essential. Slater is suitable both for those streams where math is important to the program, but students initially have weaker math skills, and those where teaching math skills is not the primary objective of the program.
