Research on Systematization of Business Mathematics and Development of its Common Materials

商业数学包括局限于计算方法的传统商业数学、追求科学管理的管理科学和管理科学的基础数学，有望为日本的科学管理提供很大的帮助。但是最近在日本，经营系、商科、经济系的学生们对数学感到厌恶，教授们在教授商业数学方面也遇到了困难。日本商业数学学会的部分成员组织了一个由系统化小组、教学大纲小组和材料小组组成的研究项目，对商业数学的系统化进行了研究，并尝试开发其通用材料：(1)系统化小组尝试将商业数学系统化，并初步形成了草案。(2)教学大纲团队从教学大纲的角度探讨商业数学教育，并对商业数学相关学科的教授进行问卷调查。(3)材料组在网上查找数学教学材料，并以实验的方式开发通用材料。

Business Mathematics includes traditional business mathematics which is limited in computing methods, management science which pursuits scientific management, and basic mathematics for management science, and is expected to be very helpful in scientific Japanese management. But students in faculties of business administration, commerce, and economics hate mathematics recently in Japan, 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 systematization team, the syllabus team, and the material team, and investigated systematization of business mathematics and tried to develop its common materials :(1) The systematization team tried to systematize business mathematics, and made a draft of it tentatively.(2) The syllabus team inquired into business mathematics education from the viewpoint of syllabus, and made a questionnaire survey to professors of subjects related to business mathematics.(3) The material team inquired into material for mathematics education on web, and developed common materials by way of experiment.
