Abstract
The book is divided into four parts a sixteen chapters. Part I consists of chapters one to four. Chapter one deals with the Set Theory. This is followed by chapter two which deals with Functions and models. Chapter three is about Exponential and Logarithmic Functions. The last chapter in part one deals with Progressions.
Part II of the book is about Linear Algebra. It consists of chapters five through eight. Chapter five deals with Matrix Algebra. This is followed by chapter six which is about Systems of Linear equations. Chapter seven looks at some Applications of Matrix Algebra while chapter eight is on Characteristic Values a Vectors.
Part Ill of the book is about calculus. It consists of chapters nine through thirteen. Chapter nine gives an introduction on Differential Calculus. This is followed by chapter ten which looks at Partial Differentiation. Chapter eleven is about Optimization whereas chapter twelve is on Constrained Optimization. The last chapter of this part, chapter thirteen, is about Integral Calculus.
Part IV is about Programming. This consists of chapters fourteen, fifteen and sixteen. Chapter Fourteen introduces the concept of Linear Programming. This is followed by chapter fifteen which is about the Simplex Method of solving linear programs. The last chapter of this part (and of this book) is chapter sixteen. This chapter deals with Duality and Sensitivity Analysis.
