Engages non-STEM students with a practical presentation that connects mathematics to their current and future lives.

Mathematical Ideas is a versatile text that has evolved to meet changing curricular needs and trends, but remains steadfast to its primary objectives - comprehensive coverage, appropriate organization, clear exposition, abundant examples, and well-planned exercise sets with numerous applications. 

With a fresh focus on math in the workplace, this program shows students in liberal arts and survey courses how math will play an important role in their futures, while helping them to develop a solid understanding of mathematical concepts. The 14th Edition updates and enhances the text's hallmark features, and expands its robust MyLab Math course to include StatCrunch applets, animations, corequisite course material, new section lecture videos, and much more.
