Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
-
Content provides explanations for unusual words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, jargon in an accessible form, such as glossaries, scripted pop-ups.

Content includes any type of illustrations.
-
The primary content is text.
-
Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) web links to external content, downloadable resources, supplementary material, etc.
-
Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, ‘choose your own ending’, etc.).
-
Additional text not part of main content
-

Finite Mathematics: An Introduction with Applications in Business, Social Sciences, and Music presents core concepts of finite mathematics in a clear, intuitive fashion designed to reinforce understanding. The book begins with finite mathematics foundations, with explanations and exercises on combinatorics, logic, set theory, sequences and series, functions and functional notation, elementary probability, linear programming and systems, and Markov chains. Later chapters explore and explain a range of finite mathematics applications, from game theory to voting, apportionment, finance, graph theory, and the science and physics of music.
Written with an accessible, example-based approach, this book engages STEM and non-STEM students alike, preparing them for courses across a range of quantitative fields, social sciences, and the liberal arts. Problem-solving exercises are featured at the conclusion of each subsection, with corresponding answers in the appendix. The book is also accompanied by a solutions manual, sample projects assignments, tests, lecture slides, and datasets on a companion website.
Key Features
- Introduces and reinforces core elements of Finite Mathematics in a sequential fashion
- Considers a range of application areas, from game theory to voting, apportionment, finance, graph theory, and music
- Engages STEM and non-STEM majors as they complete their initial requirements or general education requirement in Mathematics or Quantitative Reasoning
- Includes a solutions manual, sample projects assignments, sample tests, lecture slides, and datasets on a companion website
