Assuming very little previous knowledge, this text is ideal for students on business, economics and accountancy courses who may not have studied maths in detail before. The material is wide-ranging, covering elementary topics, such as linear and quadratic equations, to more sophisticated topics such as constrained optimisation and multivariate functions. Covering the subject in an informal way, this book demonstrates the relevance of mathematics as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
