Finite Mathematics

Finite Mathematics covers mathematical concepts and techniques applicable to business and social sciences, including matrix algebra, linear programming, and probability.

Practical Applications

Supply Chain Optimization

Optimizing Supply Chains with Math

Companies rely on finite math to make supply chains efficient. They use linear programming and matrices to plan shipments, manage inventory, and cut costs.

How It Works

Mathematical models help determine the best routes, quantities, and schedules to keep products moving smoothly and customers happy.

Benefits

The right math can save companies lots of money and time, and even reduce their environmental impact!

Examples

  • A grocery chain uses linear programming to decide how many trucks to send to each store.

  • A manufacturer uses matrices to track parts from suppliers to assembly lines.
