1) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. This is a concise but thorough textbook of mathematics of finance and basic statistics, with solutions illustrated on the HP10BII and HP12C calculators. Numerous exercises with solutions are provided. Because of an emphasis on handheld calculators rather than Excel, CFP and CFA candidates would be especially interested in this book.¤

2) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. Gene Wright has done an amazing job teaching Quantitative Analysis and Statistics to anyone - without requiring the reader to be a rocket scientist. After reading his book, you will truly understand how to apply and use statistics in the real world. I had the wonderful opportunity to take Gene´s class at Lipscomb University, in Nashville, TN. He is one of the best teacher´s I have ever had. He made statistics easy. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone in the business world and to anyone currently taking a statistics class that doesn´t have a clue what their teacher is talking about.

I was so impressed by this book, that I am writing this review almost three years after taking his class! I always meant to write one, but being the forgetful person I am (see, I´m not a rocket scientist either!), I am just now getting around to it! Bottom line - buy the book - you won´t be sorry.

3) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. This textbook is not written in the usual stale educational style. The author uses an approach to teaching that´s designed to not intimidate the student; it´s an "easy read." The examples (and calculator keystrokes)can be followed easily; it´s almost like having the instructor there with you. This is a textbook I will keep since I´ve referred back to it not just in my work, but in my personal life as well when planning mortgage & other payments. I highly recommend it.¤

4) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. This book is a must for anyone in the business world. It is a wonderful reference to keep on hand. I rarely refer back to books I have purchased but this book comes in handy time and time again. The mathematical principles explained in this book are simple enough for anyone to understand. Each principle is shown step by step. It shows shortcuts to solving problems with three types of business calculators. This book will be in my library for years to come!!¤

5) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. I knew next to nothing about interest and statistics before reading this book. Mr. Wright has written this book in a very readable, conversational style. As I sat reading it with my trusty business calculator nearby, it felt as if he were sitting across from me explaining things just for me. The text even anticipated many of my questions!

The book begins with little or no assumptions about your exposure to math. It starts with simple interest and how to solve simple formulas. I like the way it presents how to do this with three different calculators. Each chapter built upon the previous chapters so that I grew more confident with each page. Mr. Wright´s attempts at humor usually work, which is not what I ordinarily find in books written at a textbook market. In fact, if you are thinking back to how your textbooks used to be, then you are in for a surprise - you really won´t mind reading this one! This is not your Daddy´s textbook!

This text has a huge number of examples that are worked out in the chapters themselves and then lots of problems afterward.

The statistics portion was also very helpful. I´ve never been very good at statistics but learned quite a lot from the approach used in this book.

I now know how to calculate house payments, how long it will take to pay off my car, the probability of getting certain poker hands, and the difference between correlation and causation. Wow!

I recommend this book hands down to anyone who wants to understand the math of business and beginning statistics.¤

6) Spiral-bound Book Quantitative Analysis For Business: The Time Value of Money and Basic Business Statistics Using a Business Calculator, 3rd Edition by Wilson/Barnett Pub. Want to learn business math painlessly? Then this textbook is what you need. Written by the author after teaching business math for over 15 years, this book is written so that someone could sit down, read it, and have it seem as if they had a private tutor sitting there beside them, explaining the topic being covered. It is written using a very conversational style.

This text is presently used in the author´s sophomore level Quantitative Analysis for Business class at a local university and covers two broad areas of math application to business problems: the time value of money and an introduction to basic statistics.

The book uses three commonly available business calculators - the HP-10B, the HP-12C, and the TI BAII Plus Advanced Business Analyst. The slight changes needed for the examples to work with the new HP-10BII are also covered. However, the approaches used (and even many of the key presses) would work with any business calculator or programmable calculator running a Time Value of money program.

Chapters included: Simple Interest, Compound Interest, More Compound Interest Topics, Annuities, More Annuity Topics, Special Annuities, Cash Flow Analysis, Data Collection and Presentation, Central Tendency and Dispersion, Basic Probability Concepts, Probability Distributions, and Correlation and Linear Regression.

This book is a great help to anyone studying for the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam or who desires to learn how to use their financial calculator effectively.

This is the third edition with several new sections and revisions from the earlier edition .¤
