Students who went to university not majoring in Science and Technology may not think that
they need to study mathematics any more. However, for example, students who have advanced
to the department of economics and management must have the minimum mathematical
knowledge and the ability to adapt it to economic and management models. However, it is
not effective to teach, by using chalk and blackboard only, mathematical approach and its
application to economic and management models for students who are not good at or not
interested in mathematics. Therefore, I developed learning materials for freshmen majoring
in business administration at a university using the calculation and visualization function of
Mathematica, which can be used for both lectures and self-study. This paper reports how the
materials were used in class and discusses its implications and challenges.
