Math 1684, Business Calculus II -- Objectives
1. Use the method of integration by parts and evaluate improper integrals.
Apply these concepts to business applications such as capital value and probability density functions.
2. Learn multivariable calculus including evaluation of functions, partial derivatives, double integrals, optimization and least squares analysis.
Apply the mathematical knowledge to business application problems such as maximizing profit, interpreting partial derivatives, and allocation under budget constraints.
3. Solve differential equations that are separable, first order linear or second order linear with constant coefficients.
Apply the knowledge to solving business application problems such as limited growth, supply-demand and long range equilibrium price.
4. Use numerical techniques such as Newton's Method, Euler's Method, Trapezoidal Rule, and Simpson's Rule to approximate solutions to functions, differential equations, and integrals.
5. Calculate probabilities and measures of central tendency and dispersion for binomial and normal distributions.
Apply the knowledge to business application problems such as expected demand, waiting time, and quality control.
6. Solve linear programming problems using the Simplex geometric method. Interpret information as an objective function with constraints, setup, and solve the linear programming problem and interpret the results in the context of the problem.
7. Use a Taylor polynomial in estimating various functions.
