Abstract:
The typical course in mathematics begins with the assumption that applications of mathematics in the manufacture and distribution of produces are already known. It also assumes that mathematics is only concerned with symbolic manipulation and technical design. In reality, the best mathematics relies on creativity. Mathematics is a means for the expression and investigation of creative ideas. The only source of creativity must be human capital ideas of imagination and creativity, otherwise known as entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship, where it succeeds, creates its own demand for products and services in the minds of people who do not know what they want until they are shown to them. Therefore, mathematics must be concerned with entrepreneurship education. A new CDR model is discussed for inclusion in the beginning university course in mathematics for students majoring in business administration.
