Course Objectives The aim of this course is to introduce the applications of mathematical analysis to business, economics and social sciences and, to teach different tecniques for problem solving. For this purpose, applications of mathematical analysis are illustrated with a variety of examples in economic, social and managerial sciences.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • solve basic equations (including exponential and logarithmic equations) and inequalities
  • be familiar with some basic functions. They can sketch and read the graph of functions,
  • solve system of equations with method of eliminations and also using matrices and determinants
  • produce solutions to problems in economics such as supply and demand equations.
Course Content Basic algebra, Graphs, Functions and Their Graphs, Equations and Inequalities, Polynomials and Rational Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, System of Equations, Matrices, Determinants.
