520			_aDo you often find yourself asking 'why'? Why study mathematics? It's a question many students have asked over and over again; usually because they don't see the relevance of mathematics concepts to everyday life. David B. Johnson and Thomas A. Mowry strive to give readers an appreciation for an understanding of finite mathematics and its real-world applications. They show how topics in mathematics are usable and relevant to many careers. They also provide special optional subsections on the use of graphic calculators and computers; this optional material allows instructors to incorporate technology into their classes if and when they desire.
