Mathematics with Applications plus MyMathLab/MyStatLab Student Access Code Card
Description
This book presents the content and applications in an accessible manner while maintaining an appropriate level of rigor. The authors proceed from familiar material to new, and from concrete examples to general rules and formulas. This edition retains its focus on real-world problem solving, but has been refreshed with a wealth of new data in the examples and exercises-39% of the 623 examples are new or revised, and 28% of the 5,288 exercises are new or revised.
MyMathLab provides a wide range of homework, tutorial, and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course online.
