From the Publisher
The text addresses the fundamental concepts found in a traditional Finite Mathematics/Business Calculus book but also contains Microsoft Excel problems and Case Studies not typically found in other textbooks.I would describe this as a very approachable book for students. Pairing the combination of the conversational tone, the meaningful problems (Facebook, iPods, etc), along with the interactive tutorials, it is really a book that can provide the students with a meaningful mathematical experience.
