Quantitative Methods for Business

Management students frequently find quantitative ideas difficult and are concerned primarily with how useful a result is and where it can be applied in their work. This book is, therefore, designed to be practical rather than theoretical. It avoids rigorous mathematics, describing mathematical proofs by example rather than theoretical arguement. The text takes a balanced view and relates all topics to real business and management issues. Written for business students, it is intended as a complete first course.
