The seventh edition of this text continues to provide solid, practical, and current coverage of the mathematical topics students must master to attain success in business today. The text begins with a review of basic mathematics and goes on to introduce key business topics in analgebra-based context. A new section in Chapter 1 on problem solving (Section 1.1) helps students become better critical thinkers, meanwhile reviewing basic skills. Optional scientific calculator boxes are integrated throughout, and financial calculator boxes are now presented in later chapters to help students become more comfortable with technology as they enter the business world. The text continues to incorporate applications to a wide variety of careers so that students from all disciplines can relate to the material. A real-world application has been added to every chapter opener.
(Each chapter is followed by Chapter Concepts, a Quick Review of concepts and examples, Review Exercises, a Summary Exercise, and a `NetAssets exercise.)
