Course Description
This course enables the students to know the scientific approach to decision making when solving business problems. Several methods are introduced in applying
mathematics to solve management problems quantitatively. The determination of the most efficient use of limited resources in maximizing some measure of benefits could be
solved using the graphical method or algebraic method. Determining the most profitable distribution pattern for transporting products form farm to markets, and determining the
best way to assign a number of objects to a number of other objects other other major problems handled in this course. Models are presented for making decisions where the payoff
to the decision maker depends on the decision made and an event occurs after the decision is made.

Course Objectives

At the end of the semester, the students will be able to:

1. Apply the most widely used quantitative techniques in decision making.

2. Grasp the wide application of quantitative techniques.
3. Apply mathematics to technical problems in business management
4. Appreciate the value of mathematical reasoning and analysis in daily life situation.
5. Realize the importance of certain mathematical techniques in getting the best possible solution to a problem involving limited resources.
