Selected Questions in Mathematics for Business, Finance and Economics
V COWARD, K PEREIRA & K HUNT
This exercise book provides an extensive bank of test and exam questions in the topics of calculus and financial calculations, all oriented towards applications in business, finance and economics. The questions in the main body of the book are multiple-choice questions with answers given at the back of the book. The incorrect alternatives for each question usually highlight misconceptions and common errors. The book also includes a set of sample tests, written response extension tutorials, a formula sheet and a table of integrals.
KEY FEATURES
• The chapters have been re-arranged so that all the calculus and the financial Mathematics are dealt with entirely in separate sections
• Errors have been identified and corrected
• Question wording has been made more explicit
• The answers for all the different exercises have been grouped together to make
them easier to find
• Graphs have been redrawn and enhanced.
SUITABLE FOR
• Students at first-year level at tertiary institutions, registered for Mathematics as part of a degree in Commerce or Accounting
• Matric level students doing advanced work in Financial Mathematics.
Statistical Methods and Calculation Skills
I WILLEMSE & P NYELISANI
This book covers statistical methods and calculation skills. Statistical methods cover the collection of data, descriptive methods and inferential methods of analysis. Calculation skills cover elementary calculations, percentages and ratios, equations, graphs and interest calculations. The elementary calculations include basic calculations such as exponents, decimals, scientific notation, logarithms and rounding. Students with no Mathematics background can learn how to do basic calculations before concentrating on the statistical applications. For some courses calculations such as interest, future values of investments, graphs and ratios form part of the core module and are also covered in this book.
