Title: Finite Mathematics with Computer-Supported Applications
Description: A succinct introduction to topics in finite mathematics. The text includes examples and problems. The author takes a computer-assisted approach to problem-solving, which allows the student to focus on underlying techniques. The software package CALIPSO is bound in the back of the text.

Using CALIPSO, the student can perform a variety of complex operations with a minimum of effort. These operations include the Gauss-Jordan elimination methods, the geometric and simplex methods for solving linear programming problems, matrix operations and a variety of statistical and logical procedures. CALIPSO makes it possible to include more realistic applied problems, since students do not have to solve entire problems by hand. For example, CALIPSO performs the calculations necessary to solve complex problems involving interest rates, annuities and amortization. Instructions for using the package are integrated throughout the text.
