A Survey of Mathematics with Applications Hardcover – 27 December 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math Concepts Very Well Explained
Verified PurchaseFirst let me say that I am not a math major. I purchased this book because the textbook that is required for the liberal arts math course I am enrolled in does not go into enough detail on how to work out the problems. I once took an algebra class that required a textbook by author Allen R. Angel --- and I recalled that the way the book was written made it very easy to understand the equations. I correctly assumed that A Survey of Mathematics would be as equally helpful since Angel is one of the co-authors of the book---- and I was correct! This book is excellent because it explains the concepts in an easy-to-understand language as well going into step by step detail on how to work out the problems. I highly recommend it!

Verified PurchaseOverall, great purchase. I need to look at the book for an online class to avoid staring at a computer screen for multiple hours at a time.

Verified PurchaseI thought this book was very helpful and informative for the math that I was reviewing, however, I felt that the book should have given more complicated examples that are used on tests such as the ACT, SAT, etc. This would help students achieve a better insight on how to do mathematical problems in different ways.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's going as well as math can go!
Verified PurchaseWhomever put a white hardcover on a textbook wasn't thinking about the abuse textbooks take. But this book still looks terrific and the pages are still top quality. I can tell it's been gently used, but taken care of. I appreciate the quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Access code included in my order - Everything worked perfectly
Verified PurchaseI purchased the book with ISBN:978-0321828040 which DID include the access code needed for my math course (no additional fee). I see that these reviews also include the book with ISBN:978-0321639325 which apparently does not include the access code.
Therefore if you need the access code AND the book, make sure you purchase ISBN:978-0321828040.
