A Survey of Mathematics with Applications

by Allen R. Angel, Christine D. Abbott, Dennis Runde

In a Liberal Arts Math course, a common question students ask is, “Why do I have to know this?” A Survey of Mathematics with Applications continues to be a best-seller because it shows students how we use mathematics in our daily lives and why this is important . The Ninth Edition further emphasizes this with the addition of new “ Why This Is Important ” sections throughout the text. Real-life and up-to-date examples motivate the topics throughout, and a wide range of exercises help students to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Angel, Abbott, and Runde present the material in a way that is clear and accessible to non-math majors. The text includes a wide variety of math topics, with contents that are flexible for use in any one- or two-semester Liberal Arts Math course.

This course was fine, but I can't really bring myself to give a math textbook a higher rating than 1 star. I only took this course and read this book because it is required for my to obtain my Psychology degree so I can become a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Much of the math in this book was impractical and unnecessary for the average person.

Used this book for my Discrete Mathematics class. I will keep this book around. Students are always saying that will never use math after high school. This book has many problems which students could use in real-life situations.

GAH!

[Amber · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a math book so it is not exactly exciting reading. There are some interesting facts, but not enough to overcome the fact that this is a math book.

[Tamer Alshazly · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the few best books in math, which solved the golden equation - to do math and still be fun.
