Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This text covers topics typically found in a full year's course in finite mathematics or mathematics for liberal arts students, closely aligning with what has been taught to freshmen at Western New England College. Key subjects include set theory, logic, matrices and determinants, functions and graphing, basic differential and integral calculus, probability and statistics, and trigonometry. As an introductory text, it does not delve deeply into any one topic but aims to introduce students to fundamental mathematical concepts and their applications. It is designed for college students who have completed at least two years of high school mathematics, including one year of algebra, and requires no prior knowledge of programming languages. A unique aspect of this text is its use of A Programming Language (APL), developed by Kenneth E. Iverson at Harvard University. APL was created for educational purposes, providing a consistent, unambiguous, and powerful notation for conveying mathematical ideas. In 1966, APL became accessible on IBM's time-sharing system, enhancing its educational utility.
