What is the relationship between mathematics and business?

Operations research and Finance in the aread of business deal extensively and leverage mainly on mathematics. Mathematics aid business from simple arithmetic calculations to that of sophisticated complex systems analysis, logistic and even decision making. Finance rest of mathematics as a backbone to aid in accounts and book keeping.

Mathematics is the language of science.  It is how scientific models are defined and universally understood.

most programs requrie them, but to be honest, I think statistics was the best math to prep for a business education.

Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change. It developed, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement, and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. \nMathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change.

I took Econ 101 and 102 (when I was thinking about a business degree). Pretty much all the math was (at most) some algebra and all of it was pretty intuitive. I found it honestly to be a joke compared to any math course (or even an engineering couse). My view of a business degree actually is that it is MUCH more important what connections you gather while getting the degree, then the grades you get for the degree...

It's the same thing.  You're studying business theory either way.  Business is a broad topic and tends to be broken down into further areas of concentration or majors...such as Finance, Accounting, Economics, Marketing, Strategy, Operations, etc.\n\nFor example, I have an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) but chose Marketing and Strategy as my areas of focus.

A business is an organisation that provides a service with the aim of making money.\n\nI don't think you'll find an actual figure for the number of businesses in the world.

That is a great combination!  Congrats!  I am getting my business degree, and am thinking about Entrepreneurship and a minor in marketing.\n\nI bet you could get a job in the hotel industry in Human Relations.  Working with statistics...in the insurance industry.  \n\nAs you know, there is a lot of attention being given to getting the right people into companies, so a major in business administration is a huge plus!\n\nI just went to Microsoft web page and they have openings for human resources staff.  I am sure other companies would find the combination you have very attractive.\n\nI will be taking a 300 level economics course in the fall...was it hard?  I have heard it is a lot of math with linear regressions.\n\nI have not taken statistics or calculus for a few years...what should I brush up on?\n\nDave

Mathematics\nA science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement\n\nStatistics\n\nA branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of various theories to estimate and interpret.\n\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/

I think Art sounds like a logical choice for you.  Within arts,  fields such as visual communication, time arts, etc requires substantial computer knowledge.  Also, double major is always a choice.  Since you want to be involved in business, you can start as an art major and then start business with your art degree.  A degree in computer science will help, won't hurt.  You will need to take few math classes for computer science including calculus and linear algebra.

Mathmatics and Statistics are a great course of study for analyzing data.  My major was Business Management and Administration, and I am a Quality Manager for a call center.  I analyze quality data and determine trends and areas of opportunity for our agents to improve their customer service skills.\n\nSince you don't like math, look into courses that offer logic and discussion.  By learning how to ask questions and seek out the root answers, it'll help you in analyzing.

In college, the math is much different.  There are basic classes, and specific classes.  Marketing will require Statistics.  My biggest nightmare and I'm good at Math.  I suggest you get a catalog from your university(s) of choice and check our the curriculum requirements.  Most universities and colleges have them posted online and you can see exactly what will be required.

"Maths" is a contraction of "mathematics", a short way to say and write it.  It includes all branches of maths, e.g. arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statics, differential and integral calculus, quantum mechanics, etc. As you can see, arithmetic is a subset of mathematics.  Arithmetic deals with the manipulation of real numbers only.

The Business Administration has a lot more math/quanitative classes in the program, more accounting even. Business management has more qualitative classes. The Business Administration class has a better chance of going into MBA programs (thats what I was told).

Calculus is mathematics that deal often with the idea of infinity and non-linear (non-real) equations.  If we can develop mathematics that deal with these concepts, I think it proves we can understand the universe's infinite nature.

Yes, mathematics are extensively used in computing.

I think math is a convenient tool that can be used to facilitate operations in many other fields.\n\nIn computer science's programming, boolean algebra is used widely for logical operations. At the low machine level, native operations such as OR, XOR, NOT, etc are used to manipulate bits of information. At the high level, numerical analysis can be used to solve complex problems. Databases can use statistical methods to perform analysis.\n\nMath is an idealized (perfect) model that is coherent within itself. Hence it provides a very reliable framework for representation and modeling. Of course, the interpretation of the numbers is left to the more intelligent humans.\n\nComputer Science uses some aspects of Math. Math has alot more to offer.
