This book is designed for students studying quantitative methods from business perpective for the first time. It provides the basic concepts and applications of mathematics suited to the needs of students appearing in the examinations of BCom (Hons.), BA (Eco. Hons.), MCom, MA (Eco.), BBA, BCA, MBA, BIT, CA, ICWA and other professional examinations. The development of this book reflects a special concern to present mathematical concepts in terms that the reader can understand and practice with a variety of illustrations and examples. Thus the approach is to communicate the practical aspects of mathematics in a way that drives out the common fear of learning any mathematical subject.

Each chapter includes :-

Illustrations and solved examples.

Self practice problems with hints and answers

Trend questions appearing in university and professional examinations.

All of these allow the reader to check his understanding and consolidate the learning progress.
