MATHEMATICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT, LIFE, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, 11th Edition, features a concept-based approach, multiple presentation methods, and interesting and relevant applications that keep readers-future professionals in business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences-engaged in the material. This edition retains the book’s real-life context by adding to and updating the substantial number of applications. It also continues the focus on modeling, with modeling problems now clearly labeled in the examples. A brief review of algebra prepares users with different backgrounds for the material in later chapters.
