Through detailed explanations of the concepts, step-by-step procedures, and clearly defined formulae, readers learn to apply math to subjects ranging from reason (logic) to finance (personal budget), making this interactive and engaging book appropriate for non-science, undergraduate students in the liberal arts, social sciences, finance, economics, and other humanities areas. The authors utilize important historical facts, pose interesting and relevant questions, and reference real-world events to challenge, inspire, and motivate students to learn the subject of mathematical thinking and its relevance. The book is based on the authors' experience teaching Liberal Arts Math and other courses to students of various backgrounds and majors, and is also appropriate for preparing students for Florida's CLAST exam or similar core requirements.  aIncludes index.0 aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed November 18, 2015). 0aMathematics. 7aMathematics.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01012163 4aElectronic books.1 aWooten, Rebecca D.,eauthor.403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128029671
