Explore the fundamentals of business calculus through a comprehensive 9-hour course. Delve into functions, relations, and algebraic concepts before progressing to limits, continuity, and rates of change. Master derivatives, including product and quotient rules, chain rule, and implicit differentiation. Learn integration techniques, from indefinite integrals to integration by parts, and their applications in calculating areas and volumes. Apply calculus concepts to business and economics, covering optimization, consumer and producer surplus, annuities, and money streams. Gain proficiency in multivariable calculus, including partial derivatives and double integrals, to analyze complex business scenarios.
