The tenth edition of Business Mathematics has been extensively revised to maximize student interest in each chapter of the text. More than ever, real-life examples from today's business world have been incorporated; new examples from actual companies and the people who run them are woven throughout the book to serve as applications of the concepts presented. Many new photographs, news clippings, and graphs have been added to increase the relevance of chapter content to the world students know. The globalization of our society is emphasized through examples and exercises that highlight foreign countries and international topics.

 

Providing solid, practical, and up-to-date coverage of business mathematics topics, the text begins with a brief review of basic mathematics and goes 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. In keeping with today's ever expanding Web use, Business Mathematics, tenth Edition, now includes MyMathLab – a Web-based supplement that allows students to interact with a full version of the text online and a course-management system so that you can use MyMathLab to teach an online course.

Case in Point. Found throughout each chapter, the Case in Point application is tied to the business introduced in the chapter opener. This approach demonstrates to the student how specific topics are used by those operating the business.

'Net Assets. In each chapter, a one-page feature emphasizes the importance of the World Wide Web in business by showing an example of a company's Internet home page and providing questions that relate the company's online activities to the chapter concepts. Some of the corporations highlighted operate solely over the Internet.

Here and Now. Marked with an icon, a wide selection of current newspaper and magazine articles from various media sources appears in each chapter to emphasize recent business trends. These current, eye-catching items are tied to examples within the chapter sections and are a constant reminder to students of the relevance of the chapter content to current business topics.

Investigative Questions. The Investigate feature appears at the end of every chapter's Summary Exercise. The Investigate questions require higher-level thinking skills and encourage students to apply the chapter material in a practical way to seek additional information outside the classroom.

Supplementary Exercises. Additional sets of supplementary exercises occur throughout the book to help students review and synthesize difficult concepts.
