Description
Book SynopsisA solutions manual to accompanyFinite Mathematics: Models and Applications
In order to emphasize the main concepts of each chapter,Finite Mathematics: Models and Applicationsfeatures plentiful pedagogical elements throughout such as special exercises, end notes, hints, select solutions, biographies of key mathematicians, boxed key principles, a glossary of important terms and topics, and an overview of use of technology. The book encourages the modeling of linear programs and their solutions and uses common computer software programs such as LINDO. In addition to extensive chapters on probability and statistics, principles and applications of matrices are included as well as topics for enrichment such as the Monte Carlo method, game theory, kinship matrices, and dynamic programming.Supplemented with online instructional support materials, the book features coverage including:
- Algebra Skills
- Mathematics of Finance
- Matrix Alge
