Quantitative Methods
What Are Quantitative Methods?
The methods that use mathematics to solve business or economic problems are called "quantitative methods." Many business or economic situations can be modeled using precalculus or calculus. For example, exponential functions can be used to calculate compound interest, graphs of linear functions can be employed to maximize profit when real-world constraints are present, differentiation techniques in two or three variables can be used to find optimization levels, and differentiation and integration techniques can help analyze marginal cost.
