Mathematics Problem Set: Calculus and Algebra, Assignments of Calculus for Management

A collection of mathematical problems covering various topics in calculus and algebra. The problems involve finding limits, derivatives, integrals, maximum and minimum points, and solving equations. Students are expected to use calculus to determine intervals of increase or decrease, concavity, and find coordinates of relative maximum and minimum points, points of inflection, and evaluate integrals using suitable substitutions.
