Math 101: Finite Mathematics
This textbook was compiled as an Open Educational Resource for the University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN) MATH 101 "Finite Mathematics" course. The course covers topics in set theory, probability, finance, modeling with linear functions, and linear programming; it is intended for students majoring in Business, and satisfies the Quantitative Analysis requirement of the Core Curriculum. The text draws heavily from Sekhon & Bloom's "Applied Finite Mathematics" and Lippman's "Math in Society."
