Course Outline
Applications of functions (linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic) in business and social sciences: total cost, total revenue, total profit; breakeven analysis; supply/demand and market equilibrium; exponential growth and decay; fitting curves to data with graphing utilities.

Theory of matrices applied to business and social science (e.g., inventory and coding).

Optimization (linear programming) problems using graphical methods, matrices (Gauss-Jordan elimination), and technology where appropriate.

Mathematics of finance, including simple and compound interest, future and/or present values of ordinary annuities, loans, and amortization

Student Learning Outcomes
Construct, analyze, and interpret linear, quadratic and exponential functions applied to (1) total cost, total revenue, total profit; (2) break-even analysis; (3) supply/demand and market equilibrium; (4) exponential growth and decay; and (5) fitting curves to data with graphing utilities.

Accurately describe the important quantities, variables, and relationships (including units of measure) in a given application, using function notation where appropriate.

Interpret the meaning in everyday language of (1) the breakeven point, (2) function notation, (3) the results of Reduced Row Echelon form of a matrix, and (4) mathematics of finance.

Identify elements and dimensions of matrices, perform, and interpret the results of matrix operations, including adding and multiply matrices and solving systems of equations.

Solve optimization (linear programming) problems using graphical methods, matrices, and technology where appropriate.

Apply geometric sequences to solve finance problems, including solving for future or present value, interest rates, compounding times, lump sums, ordinary annuities, and loans.
