An Introduction with Applications in Business, Social Sciences, and Music

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Finite Mathematics: An Introduction with Applications in Business, Social Sciences, and Music presents core concepts of finite mathematics in a clear, intuitive fashion designed to reinforce understanding. The book begins with finite mathematics foundations, with explanations and exercises on combinatorics, logic, set theory, sequences and series, functions and functional notation, elementary probability, linear programming and systems, and Markov chains. Later chapters explore and explain a range of finite mathematics applications, from game theory to voting, apportionment, finance, graph theory, and the science and physics of music.Written with an accessible, example-based approach, this book engages STEM and non-STEM students alike, preparing them for courses across a range of quantitative fields, social sciences, and the liberal arts. Problem-solving exercises are featured at the conclusion of each subsection, with corresponding answers in the appendix. The book is also accompanied by a solutions manual, sample projects assignments, tests, lecture slides, and datasets on a companion website. - Introduces and reinforces core elements of Finite Mathematics in a sequential fashion - Considers a range of application areas, from game theory to voting, apportionment, finance, graph theory, and music - Engages STEM and non-STEM majors as they complete their initial requirements or general education requirement in Mathematics or Quantitative Reasoning - Includes a solutions manual, sample projects assignments, sample tests, lecture slides, and datasets on a companion website
