Course Description

This course is designed for students who study in the departments of Business and Economics in order to equip students with the knowledge and aspects of mathematics such as simple and compound interest, payroll, annuities, asset valuation, retail evaluation, linear programming. The intention behind this course is to teach students how to integrate key components of economic analysis into managerial decisions by using mathematical tools. Topics include: working with algebraic statements, power and indices, fractions, factorization, functions of one variable, linear and quadratic functions, solving linear and quadratic equations, sketching graphs of functions of one variable, linear and power functions, using linear models to model cost, revenue, profit, demand, supply, break-even points, and equilibrium points.
