Finite Mathematics covers mathematical concepts and techniques applicable to business and social sciences, including matrix algebra, linear programming, and probability.
When facing a finite math problem, start by understanding what's being asked. Draw diagrams, organize data in tables or matrices, and break big problems into smaller parts. Try working with example numbers before plugging in variables.
Check your work by reviewing each step and confirming that the answer makes sense in context.
