From the Authors
The thirteenth edition of Business Mathematics has been revised to improve readability and
currency and to motivate students by using interesting examples from business and personal
finance. Additional focus has been placed on real-world business applications. A different,
well-known company is highlighted at the beginning of each chapter and used throughout that
chapter in discussions, examples, exercises, and a case. Each chapter ends with two business
application cases that help students integrate the concepts using a business setting. Numerous
new graphs, news clippings, and photographs have been added to increase the relevance of the
material to the world that students know, and discussion of the recent financial crisis has been
added to help students better understand what has happened. The globalization of our society is
also emphasized through examples and exercises that highlight foreign countries and international
topics.
This text teaches math calculations in the context of business applications. An important
goal of the text is to develop students’ understanding of both to the point where they can figure
out which calculations apply when presented with an unfamiliar situation. In this sense, we seek
to develop a level of business “intuition” by having them work through the integrative cases, a
wide-range of application exercises, writing and investigative questions, and discussions about
current and relevant data. Additionally, we also seek to help students develop intuition related
to business by discussing topics such as global supply chains, inventory, the financial crisis,
debt, etc. These topics are widely discussed in advanced courses in four year programs at colleges
and universities throughout the world.
The new edition reflects the extensive business and teaching experience of the authors, college
faculty who have previously worked in and owned businesses. It also incorporates ideas
for improvement from reviewers nationwide as well as students who have taken the course.
We focus on providing solid, practical, and up-to-date coverage of business mathematics topics
beginning with a brief review of basic mathematics, and go on to introduce key business topics,
such as bank services, payroll, business discounts and markups, simple and compound interest,
stocks and bonds, consumer loans, taxes and insurance, depreciation, financial statements,
and business statistics. Two appendices have been added to this edition for those who have
requested
more algebra and/or who have an interest in graphs.
The traditional concept of learning has evolved based on knowledge that students learn
in a variety of ways and that many classes are at least partly taught online or in labs. To
support
student
learning in this multidimensional world, we have developed an outstanding
supplemental
learning package of print and digital products.
Our state-of-the-art supplements package includes an enhanced PowerPoint package,
an
extensive instructor’s manual, and a wealth of online resources for instructors. We hope this
text and package satisfies all of your classroom needs. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions or concerns. Use “Business Math” in the regarding line.
