Feature Summary
• The chapters of this text are divided into core and applications chapters. The core chapters (1-5) lay the foundation for the course, while the applications chapters (6-16) build upon these foundational tools and concepts while applying them to specific business and personal finance topics.
• This first edition has been written with the philosophy that developing basic algebra skills is a desirable outcome for a Business Math course. This approach helps students build up the comfort and confidence with these techniques through practice.
• Copious end-of-section exercises provide students with the ability to practice and master the skills presented in the section. The organization of these exercises is intended to help build from an initial level of being able to work problems of a given type to a more advanced level of being able to recognize the type of problem and then proceed with the appropriate solution.
• "Realistic" versus "real situations" examples and exercises: The author employs a mix of business and personal finance contexts to present the material. While the scenarios and businesses involved are fictional, the exercises and examples are taken directly from situations people encounter every day in the world of business and personal finance.
