Guide Review - Math Smart for Business - A Guide for Using Math
Math Smart for Business: A Guided for Using Math on the Job simplifies complex math using a series if math lessons that are easy to follow.Chapters cover everything from ratios, conversions, and percentages to algebra, interest rates, and statistics. The book also includes helpful information on creating and maintaining computer spreadsheets.
Created by The Princeton Review, Math Smart for Business is designed to help you master the basics of common math principles, as well as the more advanced math topics that tend to arise in the business world.
The only thing missing from this guide is a follow-up quiz for each lesson. Such quizzes appear in The Princeton Review's Math Smart: Getting a Grip on Basic Math and would have made a great addition to this book.
In Conclusion
Reading Math Smart for Business will not make you love math, but it will help you to understand how math works. I would recommend this book as a reference for your home or office, and to students who are preparing for the GMAT.
