The ninth edition of Business Mathematics has been extensively revised to maximize student interest in each chapter of the text. More than ever, real-life examples from today's business world have been incorporated; new examples from actual companies and the people who run them are woven throughout the book to serve as applications of the concepts presented. Many new photographs, news clippings, and graphs have been added to increase the relevance of chapter content to the world students know. The globalization of our society is emphasized through examples and exercises that highlight foreign countries and international topics.
