Math Support for Business Courses

Sometimes the trouble in a course is with the secondary material - math to pics you have forgotten (or never quite gotten) from older courses, or new algorithms, systems, and processes. Or perhaps you learn by talking and want company making up and discussing examples in order to really understand the vocabulary or techniques. Some courses where this could help:

• Quantitative Methods for Managerial Decisions
• Production and Operations Management
• Principles and Methods of Business Research
• Macroeconomics
• Microeconomics

Teacher Support

If you are in school to be a teacher, are starting out as a new teacher, or are newly (or suddenly) teaching mathematics, congratulations and welcome! I am available to offer you support. I can refresh your memory, make suggestions about varied approaches for concepts, and point out some of the common mistakes made by students.

Skill Improvement

You could be a college student who wants to really nail down basic derivatives, or you suddenly realize you have forgotten factoring, and it is being used quite a lot in the new course you are in. Or you may just wish you could do mental math in the workplace, or calculate percents for tipping. Here's your chance to figure it out once and for all! Some examples:

• Mental Math
• Fractions, Decimals, Percents
• Equation Solving
• Lines and Graphs
• Factoring and FOIL
• Derivatives

Mathematics for Fun and Personal Enrichment!

In addition to skill building, I am available if you want to PLAY with math. We can work through a chapter on fair division problems to learn some ways to divide a cake, or a chapter on voting systems. Perhaps you want someone to spend an hour over coffee explaining what calculus is. Spend a couple sessions drawing and exploring fractals, or play with Mobius strips. Try your hand at back-of-the-envelope Fermi problems (About how many people could tour the Zakem bridge in Boston in one day?). There is a lot of math that never makes it into the typical math curriculum - come do something different!

Learning that one CAN do math is almost as important as learning HOW TO do math.
