Every section in the text underwent careful analysis and extensive review to ensure the most beneficial and clear presentation. Additional steps and definition boxes were added when necessary for greater clarity and precision, and discussions and introductions were added or rewritten as needed to improve the presentation.

Almost 300 new routine and application exercises have been added to the already extensive problem sets. A wealth of new applied problems has been added to help demonstrate the practicality of the material. These new problems come from many fields of study, but in particular more applications focused on economics have been added. Exercise sets have been rearranged so that odd and even routine exercises are paired and the applied portion of each set begins with business and economics questions.
