Brief Description
This course helps students to learn the techniques of quantitative analysis, decision-making, business modelling, numerical analysis, business statistics and so on. This course starts with a broad range of quantitative tools that are widely used in other courses. The techniques of data collection and description are used to solve different types of problems, including measuring performance, finance, regression, forecasting and linear programming. Statistical methods focusing on probabilities, probability distributions, sampling and statistical inference are applied to problems involving uncertainty, including decision analysis, quality, inventory and project management, queues and simulation.
