Introductory mathematics for business and economics

Decision-making in business and economics often involves making the best possible choice out of what is feasible given the prevailing constraints. This unit introduces the key mathematical tools and techniques for formulating and solving unconstrained and constrained optimization problems. It covers the basic concepts of sets, relations, and functions, single-variable and multi-variable differential calculus, and primarily focuses on developing the capacity to utilize calculus to solve optimization problems and interpret the solutions.
