A Student's Solutions Manual by Garret J. Etgen is available through a book store. The manual includes detailed solutions to all odd-numbered problems and all review exercises.

Computer software for IBM-compatible computers is available at a nominal cost through a book store. Explorations in Finite Mathematics and Visual Calculus by David Schneider contains over twenty routines that provide additional insight into the topics discussed in the text. Although these software packages have much of the computing power of standard mathematical software packages, they are primarily a teaching tool that focuses on understanding mathematical concepts, rather than on computing. All the routines in this software package are menu-driven and are very easy to use. Included in Explorations in Finite Mathematics are routines for Gaussian elimination, matrix inversion, solution of linear programming problems by both the geometric method and the simplex method, Markov chains, probability and statistics, and mathematics of finance. The matrix routines use and display rational numbers, and matrices may be saved and printed. The Visual Calculus routines incorporate graphics whenever possible to illustrate topics such as secant lines; tangent lines; velocity; optimization; the relationship between the graphs of f, f', and f'' and the various approaches to approximating definite integrals. Both software packages are accompanied by manuals with instructions and additional exercises for the student. Hardware requirements are an IBM-compatible computer with at least 384K of memory and a graphics adapter: CGA, EGA, VGA, or Hercules.

A Graphics Calculator Manual by Carolyn L. Meitler contains examples illustrating the use of a graphics calculator to solve problems similar to those discussed in the text. The manual follows the chapter organization of the text, making it easy to find examples in the manual illustrating appropriate calculator solution methods for problems in the text. The manual includes keystrokes for the TI-81, TI-82, and TI-85 calculators. However, the examples and techniques can be used with any graphing utility.
