MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
3 units
Pre-requisite: MA 101
This course is designed to develop students’ mathematical concept and skills that they apply to areas that are important in management, life sciences and social sciences. The course begins with a review of algebra and analytic geometry with
emphasis on functions, linear, and second degree equations and inequalities, matrices, and fundamental graph properties. The discussion of limits and continuity concentrated on concept development and understanding rather than on formal
mathematical theories. This is followed by more interesting topics on the Derivatives and the Integral which substantially leads to the application in solving more practical problems in business, economics, life and social sciences. Examples:
marginal cost, revenue, and profit, graphing and optimization, instantaneous rate of change, growth and decay, and the like.
