"What is mathematics? Where can it be found? What is it for? What is it about? How is it done? Who uses it? These are just some of the essential questions that Mathematics in the Modern World aims to answer. The book covers the mandated topics and some of the elective ones which are all organized in a logical fashion. In particular, topics include the nature of mathematics, mathematical language and symbols, problem solving and reasoning, statistical tools, graphs, apportionment and voting, patterns and symmetries, coding, linear programming, and mathematical system. Written in a lucid manner, the book will surely enable students to understand not only the concepts presented but more importantly their application to everyday lives. Finally, it offers a wide array of exercises designed to reinforce lessons, introduce topics, and recognize and celebrate the place of mathematics in the modern world."--Back cover.
