Finite Mathematics, Enhanced Edition (with

The new edition of Rolf's FINITE MATHEMATICS relies on a rich array of examples and a user-friendly approach to clearly illustrate the utility of mathematical concepts in analyzing and solving problems. In addition, the new Edition continues to offer flexible technology integration with optional graphing calculator problems and Excel applications for instructors who wish to bring technology into the course. This Enhanced Edition includes instant access to Enhanced WebAssign®, the most widely-used and reliable homework system. Enhanced WebAssign® presents over a thousand problems, links to relevant textbook sections, video examples, problem-specific tutorials, and more, that help students grasp the concepts needed to succeed in this course. As an added bonus, the Start Smart Guide has been bound into this text. This guide contains instructions to help students learn the basics of WebAssign quickly.
