This course provides a working knowledge of mathematical tools used to support decision making. Topics build on those of MATH-148 to develop skills needed in future courses in statistics, finance and accounting. Coverage includes logic, sets, combinatorics, sequences, series, recursive functions and mathematicalprogramming. In this course students gain knowledge of mathematical concepts and tools for decision making. Building on MATH-148, the course emphasizes practical applications of theoretical concepts.
Students use spreadsheet software to analyze problems and develop solution models.
Topics include functions and limits, differentiation and integration. Calculus methods are applied to algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. The computer is used throughout the course as a problem-solving tool. In this course students gain knowledge of statistical decision-making tools. Research design concepts are included as a basis for single and multiple sample groups.
