Taken from: Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life and Social Sciences, Tenth Edition, Revised Edition by Ernest F. Haeussler, Jr. and Richard S. Paul with contributions by LaurelTech.

Publisher: Pearson Custom Publishing/ Pearson Prentice Hall

**PREFACE**

This tenth edition of _Introductory Mathematical Analysis_ continues to provide a mathematical foundation for students in business economics, and in the life and social sciences. It begins with non calculus topics such as equations, functions, matrix algebra, linear programming, mathematics of finance and probability. Then it progresses through both single-variable and multivariable calculus, including continuous random variables. Technical proofs, conditions, and the like are sufficiently described but are not overdone. At times, informal intuitive arguments are given to preserve clarity.

**APPLICATIONS**

An abundance and variety of applications for the intended audience appear throughout the book; students continually see how the mathematics that they are learning can be used. These applications cover such diverse areas as business, economics, biology, medicine, sociology, psychology, , ecology, statistics, earth science, and archeology. Many of these real-world situations are drawn from literature and are documented by references. In some, the background and context are given in order to stimulate interest. However, the text is virtually self-contained, in that it assumes no prior exposure to the concepts on which the applications are based.

This book contains the following:

Charts, Graphs and Sample Problems.
