CONTENT OF A MATHEMATICS COURSE FOR COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS OF BUSINESS.

The Accounting Review 1931 6(1), 42-46
Abstract In building a curriculam for any school, the educational objective of the school and the character and extent of the educational preparation possessed by the entering students, invariably dominates the process. Since graduate schools of business administration have been excluded from consideration, one can say that the mental equipment and training of the average high-school graduate determine the ability of the student of a collegiate school of business. Three courses have been found to be satisfactory instruments for the student in collegiate schools of business. The first is designed to give a mastery of those mathematical principles and methods which must be used in business, finance, and management calculations, if such calculations are to be made effectively. Other courses are, Course In General Mathematics For Business Students and Elementary Business Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics of Business Management, and Planning and Forecasting. For these 60 hour courses, the tools developed in General Mathematics Course are most helpful.
