- Comments: The spine of a book is often the first to show signs of aging and frequent use, bearing the weight of repeated opening and closing. This wear might manifest as creases, cracks, or even partial detachment, but it also signifies that the book has been well-loved and thoroughly read. Such physical characteristics add a layer of history and character to the book, distinguishing it from pristine, untouched copies.

SUMMARY
The mathematicians and educators who comprise COMAP created for All Practical Purposes in response to the following question: If there were a course designed to help impart mathematical literacy to today's students what should it include? Like previous revisions, the new edition of FAPP carefully re-examines this question to better reflect our changing world. In keeping with the FAP tradition, the text continues to focus on mathematics relevant to consumers, business, history, and social sciences, incorporating a number of content and pedagogical changes, and adding new interactive features on the Web. The result is the ideal liberal arts mathematics text for students who think that mathematics is irrelevant and dull, and for instructors who want their class time to focus on active participation and a real-world approach to problem-solving.COMAP is the author of 'For All Practical Purposes Mathematical Literacy in Today's World', published 2003 under ISBN 9780716747833 and ISBN 0716747839.
