"MBA Math was the cornerstone of my independent preparations for a number of
reasons. For me, I found it to be the best way to become familiar with
unfamiliar terminology early on, the best introduction to the process of
solving problems in Excel, and perhaps most importantly, a painless and
efficient way to learn the essentials.
It was definitely a lot more effective than the books I bought over the summer
but never quite got around to reading, and the reason is that MBA Math is
structured in a way that makes it easy and effective to learn independently."
- Peter P., HBS '08

Would you like your students to arrive on campus better prepared?
The MBA Math online course can help your students help themselves get ready for
the MBA first year.
| Since 2000, I have worked with the MBA Program
Office at Tuck School of Business to deliver a one-week, 35-hour math camp to
approximately 70 incoming first years the week before orientation. It's an
intense, great week every year, as professionals turn back into students,
friendships begin, and bright young people from all over the world engage with
the mathematics of business.
|
Yet, while the live math camp course provides just enough support for many
students, some students are unable to absorb the entire week's material. Each
year
some students
still struggle
mightily with business math and spreadsheet mechanics during the first year.
And first-year core professors report that the
low-end students slow the pace
of instruction.
| What can we do to help bright but,
relative to classmates, quant-challenged students
realize the high leadership potential that got them
admitted? |
Several years ago I began developing the online MBA Math course. The idea was
that an online course would allow
proactive students
to engage with the material at their
convenience
and in an
individualized
way before coming to campus. They can
skip material
they know, listen
multiple
times
to lectures about topics that stump them, and work through an
unlimited number
of exercises of each type.
What schools are using MBA
Math?
Apart from these school-initiated efforts, individual students from over 100
MBA programs register for the MBA Math course on their own.
