Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics and The Life and Social Sciences

With an emphasis on techniques, this volume focuses on the applications of basic mathematics and differential and integral calculus in the field of business, economics and the life and social sciences. All mathematical theorems, proofs and concepts are described intuitively and then mathematically. Reorganized and rewritten material includes chapters on exponentials and logarithms, curve sketching and optimization, application sections of straight lines and quadratic inequalities. A new section on difference equations and expanded coverage of differential equations is included. This book is intended for use by those taking introductory level calculus and mathematics courses on business, life and social sciences degrees, and students of finite mathematics.
