Business Math : A Step-by-Step Handbook, 2021A version (Lyryx)

Abstract

Business Mathematics was written to meet the needs of a twenty-first century student. It takes a systematic approach to helping students learn how to think and centers on a structured process termed the PUPP Model (Plan, Understand, Perform, and Present). This process is found throughout the text and in every guided example to help students develop a step-by-step problem-solving approach. This textbook simplifies and integrates annuity types and variable calculations, utilizes relevant algebraic symbols, and is integrated with the Texas Instruments BAII+ calculator. It also contains structured exercises, annotated and detailed formulas, and relevant personal and professional applications in discussion, guided examples, case studies, and even homework questions. It is difficult to get students to look at and use their textbook. An easy reference handbook design forms a cornerstone to aiding our students in two ways. 1.The book offers a friendly, strong visual appeal. It is not just page after page of endless and uninviting formulas. Instead, students find modern graphics, pictures, and an appearance designed to encourage their interaction. 2.Unlike other textbooks, every section and chapter follows an identical structure. The goal is to make material easy to find. Throughout the book there are constant guides and locators. •In addition to the table of contents, every chapter introduction and summary provides key topic summaries.•If a student needs to know the steps in solving a problem, students always find the details in the "How It Works" section. If they just need a summary or reminder, they can always find a nutshell summary at the end of each chapter. •If students need calculator function instructions, they always find it in the Technology section of each chapter summary. Call the book a reference manual if you will. It is about students finding what they need when they need it made easy.
