Summary

The focus of this revision is to continue to emphasize the real-life connection between math and business. The authors focus on many real company examples to help students see relevancy of the material being studied as well as how people use math at work. Several new features have been added to show this relevancy, including strong integration with the Internet, the Financial and Estate Planning Foldout, 'Net Assets, Investigative Questions, and Reality Check.
