Utility in decision mathematics is a measure of satisfaction from choices, crucial for economic theories and practical decision-making. It involves ordinal and cardinal utility for preference ranking and quantitative evaluations, respectively. Utility functions represent these preferences mathematically, aiding in consumer choice, business strategy, and policy formulation. The text explores utility theory's assumptions and its application in everyday life, emphasizing the importance of maximizing utility.
