Finite Math

Just as calculus is a critical tool for the physical sciences, finite math is indispensable to the social and biological sciences.

Dartmouth mathematicians John Kemeny and J. Laurie Snell developed the very concept. Covering logic, set theory, probability, linear algebra, Markov chains, linear programming, and game theory, finite math is directly applicable to the kinds of problems studied by geneticists, psychologists, economists, and sociologists. The Snell and Kemeny classic Introduction to Finite Mathematics, written with Carnegie Institute professor Gerald L.

Thompson, has sold more than 200,000 copies and is used at some 300 colleges worldwide.
