Maths in commerce degrees (1 Viewer)

[KING CAL]

In a commerce degree, what kind of maths do you do on a day to day basis?

I am quite good at it but I really do despise anything other than simple stuff, I'm interested in the degree but I may be deterred if a lot of maths is involved. I noticed that a prereq is Mathematics so I assume there is a decent amount involved?

If there is, please explain what situations you use it in.

Thanks.

Simple calculations = accounting obviously..

More complex maths = in economics/econometrics, finance...

You can easily forge a commerce degree without much maths at all though... say a business law major.. you choose what you study beyond a few core subjects which aren't too difficult (comparatively)...

Thank you, that's what I thought.

marketing, work, management, and other girlie subjects obviously have hardly any

Yeah just really depends on what your major is. If you're afraid of maths steer clear of an economics major. Ragardless of your major though you'll still have to complete business statistics which tends to snag all those marketing students!!

Do actuarial studies for the simple stuff

I've always wanted to know - what can you do with a business law major in a commerce degree?

Provide legal assistance to business's? ^^ Making sure a business isnt doing anything illegal is pretty important, no mercy is shown to the illegal business.

Wouldn't you go to a fully qualified lawyer for legal advice?
