The purpose of the course is to develop quantitative competencies and analytical thinking skills of the business students. Businesses are constantly confronted with decision-making problems. Mathematical methods are used in evaluation of different alternatives. In order that these methods can be applied and assist decision making, fundamental mathematical knowledge and competencies should be acquired. In order to find solutions to the problems in the field of business, functions,graphs and derivatives will be emphasized. Following the overview of the functions consist of decision-making variables, applied examples in the field of business will be coveyed to the students.In short the course aims to enhance quantitative skills and abilities of the students and allow that this mastery be applied to decision making problems and various areas of business.

The importance of the management science of mathematics and analytical thinking, The use of decisionmaking problems, the basic concepts of math, numbers, exponents and roots, factorization, equations and solutions of linear equations, functions, inverse functions, composite functions, graphs of quadratic functions, graphs of rational functions and partial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions , logarithms, limits and continuity, the use of derivative, rules, Sequential derivatives, the maximum and minimum points, descending and ascending intervals, Derivatives business practices, profit maximization, cost minimization, partial derivatives, optimization methods.
