Integral definida: aplicações em administração

Abstract

The mathematical functions used to describe the behavior of critical processes on organizations are frequently simplified, because there are too much variables envolved, but the oversimplification (to get easier processes to create and use them) can result in great distortions. Intending enlarge the available tools to the related data treatment, is presented some applications to the definite integrals on management analysis, like investments analysis, income and cost flows,interest, and others. Some other concepts of Calculus are used as auxiliary tools, and a brief review of Calculus is available. There are not limitations in especified areas of management, with applications in finance, production systems and others. There are some examples related as the formation processes of the mathematical funcions; the feasibility analysis for new equipments; the behavior of non-linear functions of income and cost flows (like in storage, for beverage industry),and also, how the time (and interests) affect the decision related with the optimization of this processes.
