COURSE TITLE: Business Calculus
COURSE NUMBER: MTH318
3 semester credits
Business Calculus is designed to introduce students to elementary calculus
and to assist them in applying the methods of calculus to solve problems in
business and management. Emphasis of this course will be on applications
rather than theory. The course begins with a brief review of algebra to
ensure that students do, indeed, possess the necessary mathematical skills.
This review is followed by an introduction to limits and continuity,
proceeding to a study of differential and integral calculus for polynomials,
exponential and logarithmic functions. Great care will be given to the
graphing calculator and its use in solving calculus related problems.
Throughout the course these mathematical tools are applied to problems such
as maximizing profit, marginal revenue, depreciation, consumer surplus,
advertising campaigns and making statistical predictions. Prerequisites:
College algebra or equivalent; or equivalent skills as determined by
assessment.
