Many students beginning their bachelor's or master's degrees have major deficits when it comes to the principles of mathematics. This preliminary course helps to fill the gaps between existing knowledge and university requirements. The level of prior knowledge required is kept at a minimum to make this introduction as easy and therefore as successful as possible. The new edition contains an additional chapter on financial mathematics.
