    Business Math

    Business math is used by companies and commercial enterprises to record and manage business operations. Math is used in accounting, inventory management, marketing, sales, and financial analysis. Business math includes courses taken at the undergraduate level by business students.

Problems investigated by these topics usually involve real-life problems faced by businesses and individuals on a daily basis.
