Abstract: Mathematics has long served as a prerequisite to introductory financial accounting, but its usefulness in relation to achieving success has not been demonstrated. The research reported here consists of the generation of a logistical regression model to ascertain the role of mathematics in relation to improving the odds of success in introductory financial accounting. The results indicate that successful completion of introductory financial accounting improves when high school GPA, collegiate maturity, as well as combined prerequisites of math and English are taken into consideration.
