There are many depending on the area of business....\n\nStatistical analysis\nInventory analysis\ntransportation systems analysis\nnetwork flow\nCritical path - PERT\nJob shop sequencing\nand many more...

Some useful things to learn for quantitative aptitude, especially for division and factoring:\n1) perfect squares up to 20^2\n2) perfect cubes up to 10^3\n3) multiples of 12, 13, 15, 16 (up to 20)\n4) divisibility tests (quick ways to determine if a number is divisible by another number)\n\nFor the last, I found the website below to be the most complete.

A simple algorithm is to first take all n(n-1)/2 pairs of points. Each pair defines a line, count how many of the remaining points lie on the line. This will be a cubic algorithm in n, the number of points.\n\nA clever algorithm using sorting takes time O( n^2 log n). See the Sources.

You don't need linear programming for this...\nYou want to maximize the investment in C, then in B, then in A.\n\nHe should in invest $6,000 in bond C.\nThen he can invest only $2,000 in bond B.\nThen he can invest only $8,000 in bond A.\n\nHe'll have $2,000 remaining.\n\n\nEdit to add:\nSorry, my LP skills are a bit rusty.  Here's all I remember:\nMaximize .05*A + .75*B + 1.05*C;\nsubject to   \nA + B + C <=18000\nA + B <=10000\nB + C <=8000\nC <=6000

Try Wikipedia.org...Qualitative inorganic analysis. I was just there.

Linear programming is explained in various ways in this site..from there you can link to some examples also..\n\n\nhttp://www2.isye.gatech.edu/~spyros/LP/node1.html#SECTION00010000000000000000

Here is an interactive page that discusses one way to do it:\n\nhttp://dilc.upd.edu.ph/loDeploy/math/math10a.html\n\nFor large numbers, bequalmings technique using logs is an easier way to go.

A few that come to mind at Euler, Maxima and Octave. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the free packages come close to Mathematica or Matlab, but maybe one of them will still meet your needs.

statistical methods are used to quantify quality in any process.  \n\nMinitab is a good software package for quality and charting that information.  Easy to use too!\n\nOf course Excel is the old standby.  Click on help to get a list of statistical functions.\n\nGood luck!

I haven't tried it, but check out MatPy (linked below).  Another possibility is Numerical Python (also linked below).
