Introduction:
Mathematics is an integral part of the education of students in business, economics,
and the social sciences. There is an increasing desire to improve the level of quantitative
skills possessed by graduates in these types of programs. Organizations are becoming more
effective users of quantitative tools for their day to day decision making. Decision makers
will be better equipped to operate within this type of environment if they are familiar with the
more commonly used types of quantitative techniques. Business Math course aims at
enhancing student’s quantitative thinking process & skills. It is expected that students
enrolled in this course already have reasonable mathematics concepts.
Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is not to make students mathematicians rather to make
them as comfortable as possible in an environment, which increasingly makes use of
quantitative analysis for objective day-to-day business decisions.
The instructor will adopt a practical, problem-solving approach for the content of this course
(see Special Features below for specifics). Students have to know how to do problems.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
 Convert real-life business problems into mathematical models for their objective
solution.
 Interpertation of the mathematical equations and calculations.
