Essence Mathematics Business by Spooner

This book is designed to bring managers to a level where they can confidently understand and apply quantitative reasoning and mathematical modelling in the various branches of business and management studies. Fully worked examples illustrate and comment upon theory and practical applications feature throughout.

Part 1 Elementary algebra: algebraic expressions and equations; the addition and subtraction of algebraic forms; products of positive and negative real numbers; expansion of bracketed terms; fractions; exponents; negative exponents; cancelling out terms; order in multiplication and the hierarchy of operations; factorization; degree of an expression; perfect squares; applications. Part 2 Solving equations: drawing graphs; straight-line or linear functions; quadratic functions; cubic functions; algebraic solution of equations; equations involving fractions; quadratic equations; solution of cubic equations; applications. Part 3 Simultaneous equations and inequalities: simple equations with one variable; pairs of equations; using a set of equations as a model; sets of three or more equations; independent and dependent equations; linear and non-linear equations; inequalities; simultaneous inequalities; applications of inequalities. Part 4 Series: arithmetic progression (AP); sigma notation for summation; sum of terms of an AP; geometric progression (GP) sum of terms of a GP; notation for interest calculations; compound interest. Part 5 Logarithms and exponentials: logarithms and exponents; how logarithms work; rules for combining logarithms; the exponential function and continuous compounding; nominal interest rates and effective interest rates; negative growth; applications. Part 6 Matrices: matrix notation; equality, addition and subtraction of matrices; multiplication of matrices; transposing matrices; matrix formulation of simultaneous equations; the identity matrix and the inverse; determinants; the inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix; summary. Part 7 Differentiation: the slope of a straight line; a numerical method for finding the slope of a curve; the general method of differentiation; rules for derivatives; the derivative of the reciprocal of a function. Part 8 More about differentiation: the second and higher derivatives; alternative notation for the derivative; maxima and minima; points of inflexion; the function of a function rule; the product rule; mixing the function of function and product rules; differentiating expressions containing fractions; continuous functions; partial derivatives. Part 9 Integration: integration as the reverse of differentiation; rules for integration; the definite integral; the integral as the area between the curve and the x-axis; a general remark on integration and differentiation. Part 10 The application of mathematics: mathematical style; tackling mathematical examination questions; formulating real-life problems; solving real-life problems.
