Objectives of the Course
The course is designed to provide a mathematical foundation, including integration, multivariable calculus and the matrix algebra, for those students who are enrolled in business and economics. In this course, some basic mathematical concepts and theoretical background will be introduced so that the students will be ready to tackle some problems they encounter in later courses of their field.

Course Contents
Theoretical background for some type of indefinite and definite integrals are introduced prior to explaining the application of definite integral for calculating the area bounded by some functions in an interval. As an application of the definite integral and calculation of area employing the definite integral, the producers' and the consumers' surpluses at market equilibrium are discussed in some detail. The multivariable functions, the partial derivative of these functions, optimization and the restricted optimization methods for multivariable functions are presented. Simple and compound interest and the present value are studied. Finally, the matrix algebra; matrix, determinants and their properties, inverse matrix, solution methods of linear equation systems and the Cramer's rule for the solution of the system of linear equations; linear programming and the field applications are discussed.
