Mathematics in the modern world / Richard T. Earnhart and Edgar M. Adina. - viii, 352 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
Includes index.
Module 1. Mathematics in our world -- Module 2. Mathematical language and symbols -- Module 3. Problem solving and reasoning -- Module 4. Apportionment and voting -- Module 5. Geometric designs -- Module 6. Mathematics of graphs -- Module 7. Mathematics of finance -- Module 8. Coding theory and cryptography -- Module 9. Statistics: data management -- Module 10. Introduction to linear programming.
"Mathematics in the Modern World discusses the nature and functionality of mathematics, with emphasis on deeper and broader appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions. It specifically covers the nature and language of mathematics, problem-solving strategies, apportionment and voting systems, geometric symmetry, graph theories, financial mathematics, coding theory and cryptography, basic statistics, and linear programming. This print material, which can also come with a digital component, will surely improve students' competencies essential to their holistic growth as future professionals and members of the community while imbibing in them honesty and integrity in using mathematics to solve issues in the modern world." -- Back cover
