"Mathematics provides a system of logic which is helpful in analysing many practical problems in science, social sciences and humanities. A comprehensive knowledge of mathematics is necessary for a meaningful study of business problems and in decision-making. The importance of mathematics and its applications in different fields is responsible for the introduction of the subject in commerce, economics, management and other business-oriented courses. The book "Business Mathematics" will make the readers aware and thorough in the fundamental concepts, methods and theories of mathematical operations concerning business. Besides providing strength of theoretical base, the book endeavours to explain them through numerous illustrations. In addition, exercises are also given to make the reader an expert in application of all the theoretical concepts of business mathematics." (jacket)
