"This book discusses the vocabulary and notions used in developing quantitative models in the context of simple markets, financial interest, optimization, and settings involving rates of change. The mathematical models match topical questions. The principle topics are the relation of variables, numbers, and equations; functions of particular use in economic and financial models; probability and expected values; rates of change; optimization; and an introduction to functions of several variables.

"Precalculus is intended for college-level precalculus students. Since precalculus courses vary from one institution to the next, we have attempted to meet the needs of as broad an audience as possible, including all of the content that might be covered in any particular course. The result is a comprehensive book that covers more ground than an instructor could likely cover in a typical one- or two-semester course; but instructors should find, almost without fail, that the topics they wish to include in their syllabus are covered in the text. Many chapters of OpenStax College Precalculus are suitable for other freshman and sophomore math courses such as College Algebra and Trigonometry; however, instructors of those courses might need to supplement or adjust the material. OpenStax will also be releasing College Algebra and Algebra and trigonometry titles tailored to the particular scope, sequence, and pedagogy of those courses."--Preface.

An authorised reissue of the long out of print classic textbook, Advanced Calculus by the late Dr Lynn Loomis and Dr Shlomo Sternberg both of Harvard University has been a revered but hard to find textbook for the advanced calculus course for decades.This book is based on an honors course in advanced calculus that the authors gave in the 1960's. The foundational material, presented in the unstarred sections of Chapters 1 through 11, was normally covered, but different applications of this basic material were stressed from year to year, and the book therefore contains more material than was covered in any one year. It can accordingly be used (with omissions) as a text for a year's course in advanced calculus, or as a text for a three-semester introduction to analysis.The prerequisites are a good grounding in the calculus of one variable from a mathematically rigorous point of view, together with some acquaintance with linear algebra. The reader should be familiar with limit and continuity type arguments and have a certain amount of mathematical sophistication. As possible introductory texts, we mention Differential and Integral Calculus by R Courant, Calculus by T Apostol, Calculus by M Spivak, and Pure Mathematics by G Hardy. The reader should also have some experience with partial derivatives.In overall plan the book divides roughly into a first half which develops the calculus (principally the differential calculus) in the setting of normed vector spaces, and a second half which deals with the calculus of differentiable manifolds.

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.
