“Finite Mathematics: Mathematics for the Social and Management Sciences” by Owen

Complete with network methods and dynamic programming, Dr. Owen's text for college freshmen carefully develops the methods of finite mathematics and shows how they can be applied to practical problems in economics, management, psychology, etc. The text is designed for a one-year sequence and offers a non-calculus approach. Examples are presented to motivate the student, followed by possible but impractical methods of attack. Then, the practical method is thoroughly discussed. In this way the student can see the true value of mathematical analysis. Graph theory, linear and dynamic programming, and game theory receive special attention. A considerable number of problems are offered in the text—drawn specifically from the application of mathematics to the social and management sciences. • Author: Guillermo Owen. • Publication Date: March 1, 1970. • Publisher: W.B.
