Calculus II for Management and Economics Exercise Book
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

The most important way to learn calculus is through problem-solving. While going through the solution to a problem, students are often faced with several issues. They may not see the connection between the concept taught in class and the solution. Others may not understand the solution because a step is missing or there are insufficient explanations. Or because they have weak algebra skills. The main goal of this exercise book is to address these issues to help students learn the material more efficiently and get better results. The book contains a wide variety of problems in integral calculus and multivariable calculus, with applications in differential equations, probability, management, and economics. Every problem has a very detailed solution, and the book is self-contained, as the summary for every concept is provided.

Canada's Pacific Groundfish Trawl Fishery: Ecosystem Conflicts
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

The case study involves the B.C. groundfish trawl fishery, which came under attack from ENGOs in the mid-2000s for destruction of the aquatic habitat. Specifically, the ENGOs were concerned with he destruction of numerous coral and sponge species. The ENGOs were able to give their complaints economic teeth by threatening the industry’s access to major markets. The resource manager, the federal government, was unable to address the problem effectively at the time. The initiative to deal with the problem was taken by the industry, leading to industry –ENGO negotiations. This would never have been possible, if the industry had been unable to act as a cohesive whole. How this intra-industry cooperation was achieved is not yet fully clear. Be that as it may, the negotiations were successful and led to the world’s first habitat bycatch limitation agreement, which came into place in 2012. The case study examines the negotiations and the degree of success of the agreement. It raises the question of the applicability of the B.C. experience to other fisheries in Canada and the rest of the world.

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines: Reconciling Interests
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

Drawing from a case study of the Northern Gateway (Enbridge) pipeline project we consider if it is possible to reconcile or mediate the conflicting objectives and goals of the resource proponent and the First Nations whose lands the pipeline will traverse. We will draw from the existing legal precedents and a consideration of approaches taken to such disputes in similar settings in other settler-colonial societies such as New Zealand and Australia. In considering the efficacy of Canadian legal measures we need to consider the place and role of Indigenous laws and if they are given sufficient weight in disputes such as this.
