 As was the case in the two previous editions of Mathematics of Business, this edition has been written expressly for the purpose of reviewing arithmetic procedures and applying them to specific business functions. Each unit in every chapter is presented in the most fundamental terms, is followed by an illustrative problem and a solution that have a better graphical design than in the earlier editions, and is concluded with a series of problems that are designed to reinforce learning. This technique enables the student to master easily each arithmetic topic before proceeding to the next one. Extensive use of practical business applications make the drill work more palatable as well as meaningful. Since the text is introductory, and is directed toward business students and and others interested in the workings and involvements of business, meaningful terminology and definitions are extensively used. In recognizing that the book might be too comprehensive for completion in one semester, the material hass been organized into nine separate parts. It is reccomended that all students study the first three parts, which are general in nature, and select those remaining that are most appropriate for their specialized courses of study.
