Common Questions
Business Calculus Vs Calculus
There are two key differences between them — business calculus does not cover trigonometry or theory. They both cover differential and integral calculus topics, but each with a different emphasis.
Business calculus will focus on such topics as compound interest and marginal analysis and how they apply to business aspects. Therefore, the emphasis will be on method and application.
Whereas Calculus will work with varying types of functions, especially trigonometric functions, and how and why they can be applied to the physical world.
Is Business Calculus Hard?
No. Business Calculus is designed for non-engineering majors. Therefore, it is focused more on method and application rather than theory.
However, it is a college level class — consequently, it will still be challenging and require time, energy, and perseverance. The key to achieving success is your effort.
Why Do Business Majors Need Calculus?
Because a career in business is made stronger with calculus. In fact, financial analysis and estimations require a firm knowledge of calculus. Being able to gauge wait times, optimize pricing, minimize or maximize revenue and profit all utilize calculus. Thus, every business major should take calculus to better understand their field of study.
