Written with the non-mathematician\nin mind, this text is applications-oriented. Its "Problem-Scenario Approach"\nmotivates and helps students understand and apply mathematical concepts and\ntechniques. In addition, the managerial orientation motivates students by using\nexamples that illustrate situations in which quantitative methods are useful in\ndecision making. \n\n\n\nAbout The Author:\n\n\n\nDavid R.
