    Product Information

    A Survey of Mathematics with Applications is a text you can actually read, understand and enjoy while learning how math impacts your world (especially for majors in the liberal arts, social sciences, business, nursing, and allied health fields). Real-life applications motivate topics, along with a variety of interesting and useful exercises. It is an ideal text for courses that satisfy the minimum requirement in mathematics for graduation or transfer.

    The 12th Edition greatly increases downloadable data sets exercises, expands coverage and exercises in financial literacy, adds new Now Try exercises, and much more.
