If you're not familiar with the business language, I can give you a general little introduction about this topic. Social Science Commerce prepares the student for university studies with majors in fields such as accounting, business administration, management, marketing, economics, finance, and other business oriented programs. Everything is related to mathematics. The words are the subjects that I'm learning in my program.There are 20 terms in the glossary, the pages Linguee and Google translate have helped me a lot to find examples and definitions.I used the Virtual Writting Tutor's method to find the words on Wikipedia.
