Applied Mathematics for Business Video Resources

QMS 110

This collection of videos explains and gives examples for questions about crucial topics in QMS 110. At the bottom of the page, you’ll also find a link to an open-source support course where you can access practice tests to check your understanding. 

These resources are a great way to help support your studies. Sometimes, all that’s missing is seeing an example or hearing an explanation from someone else. These can help clarify topics/procedures and give you a sense of how tricky questions might be able to be solved. All of these videos are organized according to your QMS 110 course outline, so you can pick and choose the topics that would be most useful for you.
