An essential resource for any student undertaking a business/management degree. An engaging and accessible text structured around the learning journey from understanding basic concepts, such as algebra, through to applying more advanced techniques including differentiation and optimisation.

The book has been split into five main chapters, with each chapter structured similarly. The first two chapters are based around numeracy and algebra, with their purpose being to get you up to speed with the mathematical techniques you have studied previously. It is vital not to rush through these sections as they provide you with the tools to be successful with the subsequent sections. From my experience of supporting students, it is actually their numeracy and algebra skills that hold them back rather than the business analysis techniques that that you will learn later on in the book.

Each section has a short explanation of the idea we are studying with several examples to follow through. Each example has been written so to not skip even the smallest of steps. You will then get the opportunity to practise the idea yourself in the confidence builder sections. The purpose of the confidence builder sections is to allow you to practise the technique you have previously learnt. Practise is so vital in mathematics, and even though you may think you understand an idea, you should attempt as many questions as you can to cement the idea.

This book will be fully supported by a range of online resources that will help students to develop their mathematical skills and build their confidence in being able to apply these skills to real world business situations.
