商品描述

本書序言

  • Many new rote exercises have been added to provide students with extra practice opportunities.
  • MOTIVATING REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS: Continuing with the theme of previous editions, more than 100 new and up-dated applications have been added to motivate students and to illustrate the relevance of mathematics in everyday life. Topics include: Facebook’s mobile-only users, ad-blocking, income inequality, global warming, terrorism, student loans, ransomware, the Affordable Care Act, Buzz rankings, smartphone dependency, and job preparedness.
  • A NEW SECTION ON CRYPTOGRAPHY has been added to the discussion of inverses of matrices. Examples and exercises in this section show how matrices can be used to decode secret messages.

  • WEBASSIGN: FINITE MATHEMATICS FOR THE MANAGERIAL, LIFE, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, Twelfth Edition, is fully supported by WebAssign, the powerful online homework and course management system that engages students in learning the math. WebAssign includes new end-of-chapter exercises and pre-built assignments vetted by trusted subject matter experts along with robust course, section, assignment, and question settings and online testing to help instructors foster a deeper understanding of course concepts.
  • CAREFULLY-CRAFTED EXERCISE SETS: SECTION EXERCISE SETS include Self-Check Exercises that let students solve problems and check their work against worked-out solutions, Concept Exercises that let students gauge their understanding, and Exercise Sets with a mix of rote and applied problems. CHAPTER REVIEW EXERCISE SETS include Summary of Principal Formulas and Terms for easy reference, fill-in-the-blank Concept Review questions that reinforce chapter terms and concepts, Review Exercises, and Before Moving On Exercises that ensure students have mastered the skills they need in later chapters.
  • OPTIONAL TECHNOLOGY: The optional coverage of technology gives instructors different ways to tailor technology to their course needs. The Using Technology sections have a traditional Example-Exercise format with step-by-step procedures and illustrations for ease of use in the classroom or self-study by students. Exploring with Technology questions in the main body of the text enhance students’ understanding by shedding further light on examples in the text through numerical or graphical solutions. The Modeling with Data exercises, found in many of the "Using Technology" subsections, show students how some of the functions found in the applications are constructed.
  • PORTFOLIOS highlight the careers of real people and discuss how they incorporate math into their daily professional activities. Among those interviewed are the City Manager of Fanfoto and the Technical Director, Europe, of SpiderCloud Wireless.
  • EXPLORE AND DISCUSS questions take concepts a step further and spark student discussion.
  • STUDY TABS that work: Convenient color-coded Study Tabs, similar to Post-It® notes, make it easy for students to flag pages that they want to revisit later.
  • Other pedagogical tools that help students master the material include "Notes" to clarify more mathematical ideas and "Cautions" highlighting common pitfalls.

  • WEBASSIGN：管理、生活及社會科學的有限數學，第十二版，完全支援WebAssign，這是一個強大的線上作業和課程管理系統，能夠吸引學生學習數學。WebAssign包含新的章末練習題和經過可信主題專家審核的預建作業，並提供強大的課程、章節、作業和問題設定以及線上測試，幫助教師促進學生對課程概念的深入理解。

  • 精心設計的練習題集：章節練習題集包括自我檢查練習，讓學生解決問題並檢查他們的解答與已解題的解決方案，概念練習讓學生評估他們的理解，以及包含重複和應用問題的練習題集。章節回顧練習題集包括主要公式和術語的摘要以便於參考、填空的概念回顧問題以加強章節術語和概念、回顧練習，以及在進入下一章之前的練習，確保學生掌握後續章節所需的技能。

  • 可選技術：可選的技術內容為教師提供不同的方式來調整技術以符合課程需求。使用技術的章節採用傳統的範例-練習格式，提供逐步程序和插圖，方便學生在課堂上或自學時使用。文本中的探索技術問題通過數值或圖形解決方案進一步闡明文本中的範例，增強學生的理解。許多“使用技術”子章節中的數據建模練習展示了應用中某些函數的構建方式。

  • 作品集突顯了真實人物的職業生涯，並討論他們如何將數學融入日常專業活動中。受訪者包括Fanfoto的城市經理和SpiderCloud Wireless的歐洲技術總監。

  • 探索與討論問題將概念推進一步，激發學生討論。

  • 有效的學習標籤：方便的顏色編碼學習標籤，類似於Post-It®便條紙，讓學生輕鬆標記他們想要稍後重新訪問的頁面。

  • 其他幫助學生掌握材料的教學工具包括“註解”以澄清更多數學概念和“警示”以突出常見的陷阱。
