Preface

ADDRESSING TO NEW REQUIREMENTS

In the modern era, Mathematics is used widely for decision making in management. Like most tools, however, it is useless unless the user understands its application and purpose. The user should make sure that mathematical input reflects accurately real-life problems to be solved and the numerical results are correctly applied to solve them. With this in mind, this book lays stress on model formulations, model-building skills and finding the manual solution using appropriate methods.

TARGETED AUDIENCE

This book is intended to be used by beginners as well as advanced learners as a text in the Application of Mathematics for business decision making. The following groups of students will be benefitted from it: ...
