EXCERPT: Preface - Business Mathematics in Canada is designed for use in introductory courses in business mathematics or mathematics of finance taught in most business administration programs in Canadian colleges. The text's primary objective is to develop the student's understanding of the mathematical concepts and procedures needed to succeed in such fields as accounting, finance, management, marketing, and business information systems. The overall approach is to identify and build upon unifying and integrative concepts... It is intended that the text be adaptable to a one- or two-semester course in business mathematics... It is also intended that the text be suitable for courses that emphasize either an algebraic approach or a preprogrammed financial calculator approach to compound-interest problems...
