Course Objectives At the end of this course students will be able to:
1. differentiate the various techniques of mathematics that can
be employed in solving business problems;
2. know the way these mathematical techniques are utilized;
3. appreciate the importance of mathematics in solving real
world business problems
4. use different mathematical techniques for supporting
managerial decisions.

Course Description Mathematics for Business (Finance/management) is one of the


preliminary quantitative aids to decision making that offers the
decision-maker a method of evaluating every possible alternative
(act or course of action) by using various techniques to know the
potential outcomes. This course is designed to expose students in
accounting and finance to the basic concepts and area of
managerial application of mathematics for decision making. Topics
include: linear equations and their applications, matrix algebra
and its applications, Markov chain analysis, linear programming,
mathematics of finance, elements and application of calculus.

Pre-requisites Pre-calculus/ calculus
