About this product

Product Information

Intended for a two-term applied calculus or finite mathematics and applied calculus course, "Mathematical Applications," 8/e, presents concepts and skills in an approachable way for students of varying abilities and interests. The Eighth Edition retains the features that have made this text a popular choice, including applications covering diverse topics that are important to students in the management, life, and social sciences. This edition broadens the represented applications by adding a number of environmental science applications. The use of modeling has also been expanded, with modeling problems now clearly labeled in the examples."New!" "Technology Notes" have been separated into "Calculator Notes" and "Spreadsheet Notes" to provide more precise instruction for using calculators and Excel."Chapter Warm Ups" appear at the beginning of each chapter to allow instructors and students an easy way to assess whether the student is prepared to begin the new material."Check Points" ask questions and prose problems that help students check their understanding of skills and concepts before they proceed further into the chapter. Solutions appear before the section exercises."New!" "Application Previews" begin each section and establish the context and direction for the concepts that will be covered. In this edition, these previews are revisited in completely worked-out examples later in the lesson.Applications contexts are clearly labeled so instructors can select the applications of interest to the students majoring in various disciplines. More than 2000 of the 5500 exercises in the book are applied problems, allowing students to learn practical applications of mathematical concepts.

Actual review of the BOOK
This was a horrible text for a Fininte Mathematics class I recently took. I didn't buy this book on eBay, so I received it, and can write a review on the book, not how I never received it. This book makes relatively easy math equations seem overly complex. The only value I received from the book were some of the examples of real companies. Oh, that and this is where the instructor drew his homework questions. Overall, if I find a college course with Harshbarger and/or Reynolds have written the book, I'll seek alternative texts to study from. This text is meant for those seeking a 4 year degree and is written in terms of a PhD. It was unnecessarily complex, but if you're taking a course requiring this text, it is what it is. Good luck to you.

Matematical Applications Book
Book gave descriptive and step by step processes on how to solve problems. Many example problems, and filled with information. Great study book for Pre-Calc.

textbook review
I needed this textbook for class. i feel it is excellent because it is the math book i needed. I bought it because it was required for the course and it was cheaper here than any store I found it in.
