Dartmouth College[edit]
The following textbooks were published by Dartmouth College faculty:
- 1957: (with John G. Kemeny and Gerald L. Thompson) Introduction to Finite Mathematics Prentice Hall Online
- 1959: (with Kemeny, Thompson & Hazleton Mirkil) Finite Mathematical Structures
- 1962: (with Kemeny, Thompson & Arthur Schleifer Jr.) Finite Mathematics with Business Applications
More details are in the article about J. Laurie Snell. Dartmouth is home to Tuck School of Business, an Ivy League business school. The 1962 text was particularly effective in upgrading studies for Master of Business Administration in that era.

Mathematics education[edit]
An article has been posted under this title in mathematics education with a chronological list of textbooks. The Dartmouth College team anticipated the boom in computation that arrived with personal computers, and the series of textbooks that followed showed a line of teaching independent of mathematical analysis. Finite Mathematics is a survey course that barely scratches the surface of several branches of applied mathematics. The title is somewhat strange but succinct in denying the necessity of calculus and the infinitesimals. — Rgdboer (talk) 21:26, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
Soviet FM[edit]
The title is broadly suggestive and includes a Colloquium on Soviet Finite Mathematics held at Falls Church, Virginia, in 1984. See MR1015508 for a synopsis. — Rgdboer (talk) 02:13, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
