Contents:
Chapter 1 - Problem Solving Chapter 2 - Sets Chapter 3 - Logic Chapter 4 - Apportionment and Voting Chapter 5 - The Mathematics of Graphs Chapter 6 - Numerations Systems and Number Theory Chapter 7 - Geometry Chapter 8 - Mathematical Systems Chapter 9 - Applications of Equations Chapter 10 - Applications of Functions Chapter 11 - The Mathematics of Finance Chapter 12 - Combinatorics and Probability Chapter 13 - Statistics
Summary: MATHEMATICAL EXCURSIONS, Third Edition, teaches students that mathematics is a system of knowing and understanding our surroundings. For example, sending information across the Internet is better understood when one understands prime numbers; the perils of radioactive waste take on new meaning when one understands exponential functions; and the efficiency of the flow of traffic through an intersection is more interesting after seeing the system of traffic lights represented in a mathematical form. Students will learn those facets of mathematics that strengthen their quantitative understanding and expand the way they know, perceive, and comprehend their world. We hope you enjoy the journey.
