Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
DSC 507: Mathematics For Managers
3 credits
Designed to assist students in understanding the use of quantitative techniques and models in management decision making. Management interpretation is discussed for certain applications. Topics include elements of algebra; break-even model; linear programming; matrices, differential calculus concepts; optimization applications; and introductory probability concepts.
Learning Goals
• Course Goals: Upon completion of the course, it is expected that the student should be able to:• Apply algebraic techniques and concepts to the analysis of basic problems.• Analyze and interpret linear models such as the break-even model and the linear programming model.• Understand the conceptual development as well as the technical manipulation of calculus concepts.• Apply calculus methodology to problems of optimization.
