Excellent shipping speed

This book was in better condition than listed. It got here really fast, but the shipping materials were torn.

At this time, it tops my list of best textbooks for finite mathematics

As a long-time teacher of mathematics and computer science at a small college, I have been called upon to teach nearly every class in the math and computer science programs. Finite mathematics is one of those classes and since I am always trolling for the best textbook; that is the context within which I examined this book. The coverage is certainly what I consider the material of a course in finite mathematics. The general subjects are, in order of their coverage: *) Linear equations, linear systems and linear programming *) The basic mathematics of finance *) Set theory and basic combinatorics *) Probability and statistics *) Markov chains *) Logic The exposition is smooth, readable and there are a large number of worked examples, which is the only way my students learn. Technology is included but it is very unobtrusive, a sidelight rather than a focus. A large number of exercises are included at the ends of the chapters and solutions to the odd-numbered problems are included in an appendix. I do not know when I will teach finite mathematics again, but at this time, this book tops my list of possible textbooks.

finite math solutions - an applied approach 9th edition

Looking at solutions and how they were solved was a tremendous help passing the class.
