"Mathematics in the Modern World discusses the nature and functionality of mathematics, with emphasis on deeper and broader appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions. It specifically covers the nature and language of mathematics, problem-solving strategies, apportionment and voting systems, geometric symmetry, graph theories, financial mathematics, coding theory and cryptography, basic statistics, and linear programming. This print material will surely improve students' competencies essential to their holistic growth as future professionals and members of the community while imbibing in them honesty and integrity in using mathematics to solve issues in the modern world." --Backcover
