Course Description |
|||||||
This is a 19-section Independent Study course in Business Calculus! The purpose of Math 267 is to master derivatives and their applications, particularly with respect to business, economics and accountancy. Students should be able to take derivatives, and use the first and second derivative tests for optimization problems. Students should also have a firm understanding of profit, cost, revenue, and price functions and how they relate. The book starts with Chapters 0 and 1 consisting of a review of Algebra. I strongly suggest that you carefully review these chapters. If you feel comfortable with the content of these chapters, you should not have any major difficulties. The course is self-paced and entirely online. |
