Pre-requisite Pre-calculus
Purpose/Aim The purpose of this management mathematics course is to increase the
student’s math knowledge and skills required as a business student.
Course Objective After successful completion of the course students should be able to:
(Indicative Learning  Define basic terms in the areas of business calculus and financial
Outcomes mathematics.
 Solve the ratio of proportions in business shares, percentages,
appreciation & depreciation problems, commission, simple interest
and compound interest related problems.
 Explain basic methods of business calculus, types and methods of
interest account and their basic applications in practice.
 Recognize the rules of derivative to allow us to compute derivatives
more efficiently.
 Logically formulate mathematical variables and equations to
quantitatively create mathematical models representing problems in
everyday life, as well as business, so that calculus can be applied to
achieve an optimal solution.
 Understand the concept of marginal analysis to compute marginal
cost function, marginal profit function and marginal profit function.
 Investigate the business optimization problems to solve the method
algebra and the also the method of calculus.
Course Content Mathematical Review: Ratio, rate and proportions, decimals, fractions
and percentages.

equations in two variables, solving system of inequalities in one and
two variables.
Linear programming: A linear programming problem and
applications of linear programming in Business.
Differentiation: The derivative of function, product rule, chain rule
and quotient rule.
Application of calculus to Business: Concavity and points of
inflexion, curve sketching, marginal analysis and optimization
problems.
