Applied Business Mathematics


Book Description

This classic, newly-revised book presents fundamental mathematics in the context of business and consumer applications to help put readers on the path to success. The all-new 1997 edition improves upon previous editions with a wealth of updated features.




Business Mathematics the Easy Way


Book Description

Covers such aspects of business mathematics as basic arithmetic, statistics, measurements, and personal finance.




Theoretical and Applied Mathematics in International Business


Book Description

In the past, practical applications motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied for their own sake. The activity of applied mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics, which is also referred to as theoretical mathematics. Theoretical and Applied Mathematics in International Business is an essential research publication that explores the importance and implications of applied and theoretical mathematics within international business, including areas such as finance, general management, sales and marketing, and supply chain management. Highlighting topics such as data mining, global economics, and general management, this publication is ideal for scholars, specialists, managers, corporate professionals, researchers, and academicians.




Applied Mathematics for Business, Economics and the Social Sciences


Book Description

Offering treatment of selected topics in finite maths and calculus, this edition continues to provide an informal presentation of the mathematical principles, techniques and applications most useful to students in business, economics and the life and social sciences. Oriented towards the needs of the student, the book has many pedagogical features including algebra flashbacks, notes to the student, points for thought or discussion and an array of problems and applications to support the learning process.

Methods of Applied Mathematics


Book Description

This invaluable book offers engineers and physicists working knowledge of a number of mathematical facts and techniques not commonly treated in courses in advanced calculus, but nevertheless extremely useful when applied to typical problems in many different fields. It deals principally with linear algebraic equations, quadratic and Hermitian forms, operations with vectors and matrices, the calculus of variations, and the formulations and theory of linear integral equations. Annotated problems and exercises accompany each chapter.

Introduction to the Foundations of Applied Mathematics


Book Description

FOAM. This acronym has been used for over ?fty years at Rensselaer to designate an upper-division course entitled, Foundations of Applied Ma- ematics. This course was started by George Handelman in 1956, when he came to Rensselaer from the Carnegie Institute of Technology. His objective was to closely integrate mathematical and physical reasoning, and in the p- cess enable students to obtain a qualitative understanding of the world we live in. FOAM was soon taken over by a young faculty member, Lee Segel. About this time a similar course, Introduction to Applied Mathematics, was introduced by Chia-Ch’iao Lin at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Together Lin and Segel, with help from Handelman, produced one of the landmark textbooks in applied mathematics, Mathematics Applied to - terministic Problems in the Natural Sciences. This was originally published in 1974, and republished in 1988 by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, in their Classics Series. This textbook comes from the author teaching FOAM over the last few years. In this sense, it is an updated version of the Lin and Segel textbook.
