Calculus for Business and Social Sciences

This course is designed to provide non-science majors with a mathematical background required for the application of elementary quantitative methods to problems in business and the social sciences. This course is designed to provide students with a solid background in those topics from calculus that have applications in the study of business and economics. Topics to be studied include the derivative, graphing and optimization, and the chain rule. Integration techniques will be developed and then applied to business and economics problems. Topics from multivariable calculus include the use of the Lagrange multiplier in maxima and minima problems. The method of solving initial-value problems involving first order linear differential equations and their applications to business, economics, and social sciences will be presented.
