Mathematical Programming: Optimization Models for Business and Management Decision Making

Business & Money

Wisniewski, Mik

Management & Leadership

McGraw=Hill

This introductory text offers an introduction to the topics included on a first year undergraduate course in mathematical economics. Oriented towards the needs of the student, the text is heavily illustrated, providing numerous exercises and examples throughout. The focus on economics is always maintained as maths is not examined for its own sake, but rather for the use it may be to an economist. This concern is reflected in the structure each section takes - it begins by questioning the need for a particular mathematical skill, examines the principles of the topic and then puts the newly acquired skill to work in the context of economics. Special features of this book include its suitability for students with a limited mathematical background, as well as the more capable, student based activities occuring throughout each chapter - to help consolidate learning along with the inclusion of exercises and chapter summaries at the end of each chapter.

Introductory Mathematical Methods in Economics

McGraw-Hill Book Co Ltd

Designed specifically for undergraduates taking introductory courses in mathematical economics, this text focuses on the usefulness of mathematical techniques in economics rather than on mathematical theorems and proofs. Allowing students to develop basic skills before progressing to advanced topics it includes thorough detailed worked examples and an appendix providing a concise revision of the basic algebra required through the text.

Economics

This book shows how mathematics is used in developing economic theory and in applied economic analysis. The text gradually develops the mathematical skills needed by students and allows them to progress at their own pace. A wide variety of examples shows how, and why, the application of mathematics has become essential to economists.

Quantitative Methods for Decision Makers

Financial Times Management

Students of business and management are expected to have basic numerical skills from GCSE maths. Often, these skills are forgotten in the two years or so between GCSE maths and the commencement of a degree. The aim of this text is to help students bridge the gap between school and university and to ensure that not only are the appropriate quantitative skills developed, but also that the student develops an understanding of the role of QM in a modern business environment. The text uses diagrams, illustrations and graphs from the real world to illustrate the application of techniques. Examples of output from common business software (Lotus, SuperCalc, Minitab etc) are included.

Pearson

Appealing both to students on introductory courses for quantitative methods and MBA students, this well-respected text provides an accessible introduction to an area that students often find difficult. As a manager, developing a good understanding of the business analysis techniques at your disposal is crucial. Knowing how and when to use them and what their results really mean can be the difference between making a good or bad decision and, ultimately, between business success and failure. Quantitative Methods for Decision Makers helps students to understand the relevance of quantitative methods of analysis to manager’s decision-making by relating techniques directly to real-life business decisions in public and private sector organisations and focusing on developing appropriate skills and understanding of how the techniques fit into the wider management process. Key features: <ul>
<li>Student Activities with a solutions Appendix </li> <li>Fully worked examples and exercises supported by Excel data sets </li> <li>“QMDM in Action” case studies illustrating how real-life organisations benefit from the use of quantitative techniques </li> <li>Chapter on financial decision-making </li> </ul>
 “Wisniewski makes numerical and statistical concepts understandable and brings them to life using excellent scenarios and case studies. This book was a valuable resource during my MBA studies and I am encouraging all my non-statistical colleagues and anyone who works with statistics or performance measurement data to read this book!” Brian J Pickett, Assistant Director, Local Government Data Unit, Wales Mik Wisniewski is Senior Research Fellow at Strathclyde Business School in Scotland. He also works as a freelance management consultant with clients including PriceWaterhouseCoopers, ScottishPower and Shell, and a variety of public sector organisations in the UK and internationally.
