A First Course in Business Mathematics and Statistics

The aim of this book is to provide the course text for the first year of the many courses that introduce basic quantitative methods to students who do not need to be particularly mathematically-minded. It can also be used as a support text for quick reference. The emphasis is on worked examples supplemented by exercises with answers - all at an introductory level. The book assumes a knowledge equivalent to that covered in the author's "A Refresher in Basic Maths" and is intended for use on the following courses: HNC/D Business and Finance, BA Business Studies, BA Modern Languages and International Business, and all other courses with a business element.
