Math for Business & Finance: An Algebraic Approach provides modern examples for students to understand business mathematics and make connections with real-world applications. The course covers mathematical concepts from an algebraic approach, combined with Business applications. Every chapter is devoted to a Personal Finance theme, with topics that include Payroll and the Cost of Purchasing a Home. There is also extensive integration of scientific calculator notation, and also has the Wall Street Journal and Kiplinger news clips that have been widely popular in Jeffrey Slater's other two Business Math texts. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.

With You Every Step of the Way

The Tobey/Slater/Blair/Crawford series retains the hallmark characteristics that have always made the text so easy to learn and teach from, including a “building block” organization. Each program builds essential skills and conceptual understanding by breaking the mathematics down into manageable pieces.

The new editions address the latest trends and dynamics related to developmental mathematics course structures, including helping students gain a stronger conceptual understanding, while contextualizing the math. Instructors will find the inclusion of new conceptually oriented Guided Learning Videos with the accompanying Video Workbook with the Math Coach (in MyMathLab), plus a new emphasis on Career Explorations throughout the text and MyMathLab course to help students explore potential career paths. The Tobey series is flexible, and well-suited for a variety of classroom formats, including lecture-based, computer-lab based (modular and/or self-paced), hybrid, and online.
