Book Description
The mathematics needed for the study of business continues to grow with each passing year, placing ever increasing demand on students. This book is a definitive guide to the effective management of day-to-day business problems. It is suitable for business operators as well as Diploma, Higher National Diploma and Undergraduate students in the following disciplines: Accounting Economics Management Marketing The objective of this book is to present a thorough, easily understandable introduction to the wide array of mathematical topics business students need to know today. The book also offers a direct, frequent, and practical application to everyday business problems and business situations. The level of achievement of Business Organisations depends, however, on how well it acquaints itself with carrying out its daily operations effectively and its timely response to changes that may affect transactions at anytime. These can only be realized if the Organization's employees develop and possess the skills and competencies regarding the practical application of mathematics in business. The book provides definitions of some mathematical terms, which are used frequently when discussing relevant topics. It also adopts a step-by-step approach in dealing with basic mathematical techniques and their appropriate applications. Under each application method, example scenarios are given and evaluated in full according to the requirements of the examples. The writer hopes this would strengthen the user's knowledge and skills to be able to deal with similar mathematical problems in their strategic and tactical roles and responsibilities. Data used in these examples are extracted from books and other published materials and simplified to make it easier for users of the book to understand. Most of the data are derived from empirical situations which equip the reader with real competencies for their future careers.
