Brooks/Cole,
Pacific Grove, 1991, 98 pages, $24.95.
One of the goals of mathematics is to
enable people to comprehend and analyze real-world situations and to
respond in a way that will achieve some desired goal, such as increasing
profits, minimizing risk, or simply continuing to function intelligently

this book are directed at developing the students' skills not only in
using algorithms, but in interpreting the results of those mathematical
procedures.
