Connects math to students' lives with relevant, updated applications

Mathematical Ideas captures the interest of non-STEM students with an applications-oriented approach that links mathematics to their current and future lives. It meets changing curricular needs and trends but maintains its coverage, organization, clear exposition, abundant examples and well-planned exercise sets. The authors demonstrate how math will play an important role in students' futures and careers while helping them to develop a solid understanding of concepts. The 15th Edition adds many new and updated applications, and more resources for corequisite courses.
