Quantitative Methods for Management
Provides an introduction to some of the key quantitative techniques that are used in business and management today. These techniques are part of the scientific discipline known as Management Science/Operational Research. The course is designed for students to appreciate the advantages and limitations of these techniques so that they can understand where and when they can be applied in management situations. This is an essential background for many modern management roles and the skills learnt on this course will enhance an individual’s employability. Some of the techniques will make use of and extend topics in probability and statistics which were introduced in the MAT 120 and MAT 220 courses. Examples and case studies will be used in the lectures so that the applications of these techniques are appreciated.

Finite Mathematics
Designed to prepare students for other courses in the core curriculum and for their majors. Topics include solving equations, modeling with linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions and the mathematics of finance and probability. The use of software (EXCEL) is integrated with the curriculum.
Statistics
A fundamental course in the application of statistics that includes descriptive statistics, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, and basic linear regression. Students will gain experience using statistical software.
Mathematical Concepts and Techniques for Business
An anthology for business majors that enriches and augments the techniques developed in MAT 120. Special attention is given to developing the topics using examples from business and employing calculators and computer packages. Topics covered include matrices and their application, an introduction to linear programming, the summation notations and an introduction to calculus applied to polynomials.
Calculus for Business
Includes the college-level skills of Calculus such as functions, graphs, limits, differentiation, integration and applications.
Customer Relationship Management
Customer Relationship Management course will orient students on evolving concepts and strategies for meeting the satisfaction and trust of more technology-driven customers. The latest tools and techniques used in connecting with customers will be studied and learned to improve the development of a more effective customer relationship program.
