Full of relevant, diverse, and current real-world applications that students can relate to, Waner and Costenoble's FINITE MATHEMATICS, Seventh Edition, helps your students see the relevance of mathematics in their lives. A large number of the applications are based on real, referenced data from business, economics, and the life and social sciences. Thorough, clearly delineated spreadsheet and TI Graphing Calculator instruction appears throughout the text, supplemented by an acclaimed author website that provides interactive tutorials, powerful utilities, conceptualization tools, review, and practice. The end-of-chapter Technology Notes and Technology Guides are optional, allowing you to include in your courses precisely the amount of technology instruction you choose.

About the Authors
Stefan Waner and Steven R. Costenoble both received their Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, having studied several years apart with the same advisor, J. Peter May. Their paths merged when Steven joined Stefan at Hofstra University in 1987; since then they have coauthored 18 research papers as well as a research-level monograph in algebraic topology. By the early 1990s they had become dissatisfied with many of the Finite Mathematics and Applied Calculus textbooks. They wanted textbooks that were more readable and relevant to students' interests, containing examples and exercises that were interesting, and reflected the interactive approaches and techniques they found worked well with their own students. It therefore seemed natural to extend their research collaboration to a joint textbook writing project that expressed these ideals. To this day, they continue to work together on their textbook projects, their research in algebraic topology, and their teaching.
