* Associated Project, not under contract.
CourseWare
The content pedagogy will include written explanations, static and dynamic graphics, visualization tools, worked examples and exercises. The content will cover topics typically found in an elementary finite mathematics course. Examples include:
- Straight Lines and Linear Functions: mathematical models, least squares .
- Systems of Linear Equations and Matrices.
- Linear Programming: simplex method, minimization problems, [ method of corners ].
- Sets and Counting: permutations and combinations
- Probability : expected value, variance; the binomial and binomial distribution
- Theory of Games
- Applications to business , life and social sciences
Print Materials
Print materials will be created to support the electronic component of the Courseware for commercial distribution as required by the market. These materials may include a student exercise book and instructor's guide. Print materials will be written by the Developer and provided to the Publisher in camera ready form with art in place. A schedule for print materials will be included with the Development Schedule.
