Synopsis

Due largely to the lack of mathematical sophistication of students in business administration, the course is a difficult one for both the students and the professor. This text attempts to reduce these difficulties by providing a student-oriented approach to the material, with more emphasis on application (how it works) and problem recognition (when it works) and less on derivation (why it works).Some important features of this text include: extensive topical coverage of a broad range of Quantitative Analysis Topics from Management Science, Operations Research, Production/Operations Management, and Decision Analysis; chapter on problem formulation; Key Concepts and Terms identified and defined at the end of each chapter for overview/review; Appendices covering Matrix Algebra and Calculus; Simplified approach to Bayesian probability revision; Extensive end-of-chapter exercises to provide opportunities for skills development; Chapter quizzes in workbook for additional practice and preparation for exams.
