Overview of class

This course provides students with some of the standard mathematical models and techniques needed to make quantitative decisions about "real-life" problems that arise in business, economics, and the social sciences. It will cover a variety of mathematical topics such as Matrix Theory, Linear Programming, Counting Principles and Probability, and other topics as time permits. At the completion of the course, students should be able to: perform operations with matrices and apply matrix methods to solve systems of linear equations; solve a linear programming problem by graphical methods as well as by the simplex method; know and use various counting principles such as the Fundamental Principle of Counting, permutation, combinations, and basic probability.
