C011. Basic Quantitative Foundations for Business and Econonics I (3 s.h.) FS. Core: QA Fundamentals of finite mathematics necessary for a business student to pursue statistics and other quantitatively oriented business courses. Topics and illustrations are specifically directed to applications in business and economics. Topics include algebra and geometry of linear and polynomial equations, logarithm and exponential functions, and elementary matrix manipulation. Interest rate calculations and present and future values of annuities are some of the specific applications.C012. Basic Quantitative Foundations for Business and Economics II (3 s.h.) FS. Core: QB Prerequisite: C- or better grade in Statistics C011 or in Mathematics C055. Continuation of Statistics C011. Introduction to Differential and Integral Calculus. Topics include functions and graphs, differentiation of polynomial, logarithmic, exponential functions, and rational functions. Higher order derivatives, maximum and minimum, applications to break-even analysis and market equilibrium. Integration: antiderivative and the definite integral. Applications to marginal analysis and other problems in business and economics. C021. Statistical Methods and Concepts (3 s.h.) FS. Core: QB Prerequisite: C- or better grade in Statistics C011 or H091, or in Mathematics C055, C075, or C085. A survey course covering basic descriptive statistics and an introduction to probability and to statistical inference. Topics include probability distributions, random sampling and sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. Use of a statistical computer package. 0022. Selected Statistical Topics (3 s.h.) FS Prerequisites: C- or better grade in both Statistics C021 and calculus (one of the following: Statistics C012 or Mathematics C066, C075, or C085). Continuation of Statistics C021. Topics include hypothesis testing for several populations, linear regression, correlation, analysis of variance, chi-square tests, and sampling. Use of a statistical computer package. H092. Basic Quantitative Foundations for Business and Economics - Honors (3 s.h.) F. Core: QB Prerequisite: Special permission. Open only to designated Honors students. This course may be used to fulfill the Statistics C012 requirement of the Fox School of Business and Management. Differential and integral calculus. Topics include functions and graphs, differentiation of polynomial, logarithmic, exponential, and rational functions. Higher order derivatives and graph sketching; maximum and minimum. Integration: the antiderivative and the definite integral. Topics and illustrations directed to applications in business and economics. Applications to break-even analysis, market equilibrium, marginal analysis and other problems in business and economics H093 and H094. Basic Statistics for Business and Economics - Honors (3 s.h. each) FS. Core: QB for H093 Prerequisite: Statistics H092 or Mathematics C075 or C085. Open only to business designated Honors students or with special permission. This sequence may be used to fulfill the statistics requirements of the Fox School of Business and Management. First semester: data sources, summary measures, probability, random variables, univariate and bivariate distributions, conditional expectation, sampling, estimation and testing, and use of a statistical software. Second semester: Hypothesis testing for several populations, linear regression, correlation, multiple regression, analysis of variance, non-parametric and robust methods, contingency tables, and goodness of fit tests.
