Research on What New Business Mathematics Should Be and How to Teach Business Mathematics at the Faculties of Social Sciences

近年来，商业数学或管理科学的理论得到了长足的发展，并被应用到一些以前认为与之无关的领域，如组织，但工商管理、商业、经济等学院的学生越来越讨厌数学方法，教授们在教授商业数学时也遇到了困难。日本商业数学学会的一些成员组织了一个研究项目，该项目由课程/教学大纲小组和材料小组组成。并调查了新的商业数学应该是什么，以及如何在学生讨厌数学方法的社会科学学院教授发达的商业数学：(1)课程/教学大纲团队对商业数学相关学科的教授进行了问卷调查，以询问他们如何教授他们以及新的商业数学应该是什么。(2)材料组对已经开发的材料中存在的问题和解决方案进行了深入的研究，并尝试开发一个支持商业数学教育的系统，包括模型计算和成本核算。

While theories of business mathematics or management science are developing remarkably in recent years, and they are applied to some areas, say, organization, which are thought to be irrelevant to them before, students in faculties of business administration, commerce, economics and so on hate mathematical approach more and more, and professors are in difficulties in teaching them business mathematics.Some members of Japan Society of Business Mathematics organized a research project, which is composed of the curriculum/syllabus team and the material team, and investigated what new business mathematics should be and how to teach a developed business mathematics at the faculties of social sciences whose students hate mathematical approach :(1) The curriculum/syllabus team made a questionnaire survey to professors of subjects related to business mathematics in order to inquire how they are teaching them and what new business mathematics should be.(2) The material team inquired into the problems and their solutions in the materials it has already developed, and tried to develop a system supporting business mathematics education including model computation and cost accounting.
