Average Customer Rating:

A rather complete book

Customer Rating:

For a student it is worth it buying as it starts with some basic stuff that can refresh the Maths knowledge needed to understand what will come afterwards. It covers all the Maths topics that they will have during their degree, except for Statistics. It can always be a reference to have in a bookshelf in case something comes up in the near future. For a Maths teatcher it is usefull as it has examples to apply the theory we want them to learn.

Good intoduction if your maths is a bit rusty

Customer Rating:

I found this book pretty helpful as it explains basic concepts from scratch, gradually building them up. It's easy to follow and a good foundation for businessy maths. it doesn't go into things like limitations of the modelling techniques though, but it helps you get to the level of maths needed for economics and business. It's not patronising, which is a problem I've encountered with other similar level texts. I'm pretty good at maths, but had forgotten some techniques and this provided a good reminder relevant to my degree, although it seems to be more like A level standard.

applying the maths to real world business scenarios is great

Customer Rating:

having just finished the first 3 chapters (linear equations) I can recommend this book to any person who seeks to improve their mathematics, regardless of prior knowledge. Having finished school nine years ago and never having been interested in maths until now, Ian Jacques offers an engaging 'business scenario' in introducing the subjects and step by step unfolding of the formula's make self study much easier and very rewarding
