- Provides an overview of differential calculus including derivatives of power; exponential, logarithmic, logistic functions; and functions built from these.
- Derivatives are used to model rates of change, to estimate change, to optimize functions, and in marginal analysis.
- The integral calculus is applied to accumulation functions and future value.
- Emphasizes realistic business and economics problems, the development of mathematical models from raw business data, and the translation of mathematical results into verbal expression appropriate for the business setting.
- Also features a semester-long marketing project in which students gather raw data, model it, and use calculus to make business decisions; each student is responsible for a ten-minute presentation.
