It is the result of extensive collaboration between faculty members from the Eller College of Management and from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona.(material continues)BusinessAbout Business Math(material continues)Mathematics for Business Decisions is the foundation for your future career in business, showing you how to apply the language of mathematics to business problems, and how to use computers to help you do mathematics.The content, method of instruction, and computer software in this course are all carefully selected to prepare you for the job market and for future business courses. Top priority is given to the qualities that are desired by corporate recruiters. These include communication skills, creative problem solving skills, and the ability to work in teams.About Mathematics for Business Decisions: page 2About Mathematics for Business Decisions: page 2C I Part 2 of Mathematics for Business Decisions centers around two significant business problems and the tools, both mathematical and computer based, that are needed for their solutions. You will use the spreadsheet package Excel to assist you with the mathematics and with the presentation of your results.About Business Math(material continues)After the description of each project, teams of students make initial reports, indicating how they would attempt to solve the problem. These reports will be based upon common sense, intuition, and past business experience. CAbout Mathematics for Business Decisions: page 3About Mathematics for Business Decisions: page 3IAbout Business MathFor several weeks after the initial reports, you will learn mathematical tools and computer skills that can be applied to the business case studies. While working on these, you will complete homework assignments.Using the new tools, each team will develop its final analyses of the projects and prepare both written and oral reports on their solutions. (material continues)Student presentations will be given in the current business style, using PowerPoint and Excel. CAbout
