DESCRIPTION
The importance of mathematics in the study of economics and business today requires that the student be familiar with a wide variety of mathematical concepts. This course is designed to fill this need by presenting a thorough, easily understood introduction to differential and integral calculus, matrix algebra, linear programming, differential equations and difference equations to economic problems. The theory-and-solved-problem format for each lesson provides concise explanations illustrated by examples, plus numerous problems with fully worked-out solutions. The topics and related problems range in difficulty from simpler mathematical operations to sophisticated applications. No mathematical proficiency beyond the high-school level is assumed. This learning-by-doing pedagogy will enable students to progress at their own rate and adapt the course to your own needs.
