Contents of the Course
This course aims to develop mathematical analysis and problem-solving skills in the fields of business and economics. Starting with basic mathematical concepts such as linear equations, inequalities, polynomials, exponential, and logarithmic functions, it continues with topics such as limits, derivatives, and continuity. From a business applications perspective, topics such as cost, revenue, and profit functions, interest calculations, maximum profit, and minimum cost analyses are covered. By examining the determination of extreme points using derivatives and the optimization of business problems, the course aims to enable students to effectively use mathematics in decision-making processes.
