For All Practical Purposes (International Edition)

Bringing contemporary mathematical thinking to non-specialists.

For All Practical Purposes emphasises the valuable connections between contemporary mathematics and modern society. This foundational resource introduces students to real math applications without simply listing equations, but offering practice that is geared towards understanding what these equations do and what they can reveal. A series of independent chapters also focus on high-interest topics, including business management, data literacy, game theory, and finance to keep students engaged and demonstrate the usefulness of maths when applied to the real-world.
