This text is aimed at people who already have, or will one day have, managerial responsibilities and who wish to develop their business skills within the English language context. As well as improving their interactive language, students develop communications skills through case studies, role playing, problem solving and working with statistics. Many activities are designed to incorporate the students' own professional experience and theoretical knowledge. There is a particular focus on business vocabulary and expressions. An accompanying cassette is available (0-13-017799-7).

Product Description: This text treats the classical theory of quadratic diophantine equations and guides the reader through the last two decades of computational techniques and progress in the area. The presentation features two basic methods to investigate and motivate the study of quadratic diophantine equations: the theories of continued fractions and quadratic fields...read more

Product Description: Rooted in a pedagogically successful problem-solving approach to linear algebra, the present work fills a gap in the literature that is sharply divided between elementary texts and books that are too advanced to appeal to a wide audience...read more

Product Description: This book shows how complex numbers can be used to solve algebraic equations, and to understand the geometric interpretation of complex numbers and the operations involving them. Includes exercises of varying difficulty, many added for this second edition.

Product Description: The main purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to central topics in elementary algebra from a problem-solving point of view. While working with students who were preparing for various mathematics competitions or exams, the author observed that fundamental algebraic techniques were not part of their mathematical repertoire...read more
