Business Analytics II

Preface

This book is the textbook for BUSQOM 0102 - Business Analytics II at the University of Pittsburgh.

The author of the textbook is also the instructor for the course. This is an advantage for students, because the textbook focuses on the specific knowledge and skills covered in the course. Another advantage is that students can use this textbook for free, so you don’t need to purchase any expensive materials for the course (or download any black market copies of expensive materials from shady websites that will infect your computer with spyware or viruses). Finally, the textbook integrates all the diverse content for the course into one resource, which saves us from the expense and confusion of having to jump back and forth between parts of several different textbooks.

One disadvantage, however, is that this textbook is fairly new and is a work in progress. New content will be added and existing content may be revised as the semester progresses.

If you spot any errors, find any of the content to be confusing, or simply have suggestions for improvement please don’t hesitate to let the author know.
