This new text presents Mathematics and Statistics in a user friendly approach designed to meet the needs of students taking introductory courses in business, accountancy, finance and economics. A section is included to support students with weaker or rusty mathematics and provide additional reinforcement for stronger students. Every topic is illustrated using a selection of applications from business, management and finance. The text includes accessible treatment of all the ideas and concepts relevant to students in these areas of study.

Maths and Statistics for Business is specifically written for non-mathematicians who need an introduction to elementary mathematical and statistical techniques for their business course. Through worked examples, highlighted key points and self-assessment questions, the book demonstrates how these techniques are applied in the business environment. Ideal for all business-related foundation, degree and diploma courses involving statistics and maths, such as business maths, statistics for business, introductory quantitative analysis and quantitative methods.

Step-by-Step Business Math and Statistics is written to help those who need a quick refresher on mathematics and statistics as the foundation of a rigorous MBA program. This book fills the gap left by many textbooks that are often dedicated to either mathematics or statistics, but not both. It also serves as both a textbook that describes basic concepts and a workbook that shows plenty of examples and exercise problems. This book covers only the most fundamental topics in business mathematics and statistics and truly lays down the basic concepts step by step. Step-by-Step Business Math and Statistics covers the essentials of mathematics and statistics, including: - Algebra Review - Calculus Review - Optimization Methods - Applications to Economics - Data Collection Methods - Probability Theory - Sampling Distributions - Multiple Regression Analysis Jin Choi is Associate Professor of Economics in the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business at DePaul University (Chicago, Illinois). He specializes in teaching quantitative topics such as business mathematics, statistics, forecasting, and quantitative investment analysis. He also teaches topics on money and banking and serves as a member of the board of directors of a $555 million community bank in Chicago. He received the Excellence in Teaching award in 2007 from DePaul University and emphasizes practical use of theory in his teaching.

Mathematical Statistics for Economics and Business, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of mathematical statistics which underpin statistical analyses in the fields of economics, business, and econometrics. The selection of topics in this textbook is designed to provide students with a conceptual foundation that will facilitate a substantial understanding of statistical applications in these subjects. This new edition has been updated throughout and now also includes a downloadable Student Answer Manual containing detailed solutions to half of the over 300 end-of-chapter problems. After introducing the concepts of probability, random variables, and probability density functions, the author develops the key concepts of mathematical statistics, most notably: expectation, sampling, asymptotics, and the main families of distributions. The latter half of the book is then devoted to the theories of estimation and hypothesis testing with associated examples and problems that indicate their wide applicability in economics and business. Features of the new edition include: a reorganization of topic flow and presentation to facilitate reading and understanding; inclusion of additional topics of relevance to statistics and econometric applications; a more streamlined and simple-to-understand notation for multiple integration and multiple summation over general sets or vector arguments; updated examples; new end-of-chapter problems; a solution manual for students; a comprehensive answer manual for instructors; and a theorem and definition map. This book has evolved from numerous graduate courses in mathematical statistics and econometrics taught by the author, and will be ideal for students beginning graduate study as well as for advanced undergraduates.

Representing a practical user-oriented approach to teaching mathematics and statistics, this fourth edition ofIntroductory Mathematics and Statistics for Businessuses the latest Australian data relating to the Australian economy and business world, and gives students a clear and comprehensive introduction to mathematics and statistics.

Introductory Business Statistics 2e aligns with the topics and objectives of the typical one-semester statistics course for business, economics, and related majors. The text provides detailed and supportive explanations and extensive step-by-step walkthroughs. The author places a significant emphasis on the development and practical application of formulas so that students have a deeper understanding of their interpretation and application of data. Problems and exercises are largely centered on business topics, though other applications are provided in order to increase relevance and showcase the critical role of statistics in a number of fields and real-world contexts. The second edition retains the organization of the original text. Based on extensive feedback from adopters and students, the revision focused on improving currency and relevance, particularly in examples and problems.
