College Mathematics With Business Applications
Description:
From the Preface:"Here, the increasing emphasis on quantitative methods has created a demand for textbooks which not only preset the reader with a general understanding and appreciation of the role played by mathematics in management science, but which also give him an adequate foundation to pursue more advance work in statistics, operations research, inventory theory, electronic data processing, mathematical programming, econometrics, production management, and the like.[...]So far as prerequisites are concerned, the only prerequisite assumed for this book is some high school algebra, namely, some familiarity (and, hopefully, a lack of fear) of dealing with letters and symbols instead of numbers."Chapter Titles:Mathematical ModelsNumbers and Numerals (including decimal notation, binary notation, and hexadecimal notation).Functions and EquationsLinear and Quadratic FunctionsExponential and Logarithmic FunctionsPeriodic FunctionsSystems of Linear Equations and inequalitiesLinear ProgrammingMatrix AlgebraThe Simplex MethodSequences and LimitsDifferential CalculusDifferential Calculus: ApplicationsIntegral CalculusPossibilities and ProbabilitiesProbabilityExpectations, Decisions, and GamesSimulationSpecial applications are also introduced: non-linear depreciation, and analytical geometry (mid-points, perpendicular lines, etc.).
