This accessible text is designed to help readers help themselves to excel. The content is organized into two parts: (1) A Library of Elementary Functions (Chapters 1-2) and (2) Finite Mathematics (Chapters 3-11). The books overall approach, refined by the authors experience with large sections of college freshmen, addresses the challenges of teaching and learning when readers prerequisite knowledge varies greatly. Reader-friendly features such as Matched Problems, Explore & Discuss questions, and Conceptual Insights, together with the motivating and ample applications, make this text a popular choice for todays students and instructors.
