Product Description
Product Description
Today's student wants to learn about all areas of finance rather than just how large corporations function. Finance includes coverage of the three main topic areas: markets and institutions, investments, and managerial finance. While the book's greatest emphasis is on corporate topics, the amount of detail has been carefully edited to allow room for coverage of topic areas that are of interest to students. This broad approach appeals to majors and non-majors alike by allowing students to better understand financial information for making business and personal finance decisions.

For a basic finance text.. this was great
21 April 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really liked the way this book read. The theory, math, and samples were laid out very cleanly. The problems were easy to follow and it showed the "calculator" math to do the problems on a finance calculator. I needed to brush up on my Finance basics and found this book easy to get through. Some the "current info" is out of date, but you can look up things like "current members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average" on line.
If you need a good basic finance text book, this is the book for you.

An okay introduction
4 Dec 2006
Format:Hardcover
This book provides an okay introduction to Finance, but it leaves much to be desired. My chief complaint is that this book gives important basic finance formulas, but it does not explain the derivations of them well. Some general concepts are explained, but then poof a formula suddenly appears which a clever reader can probably figure out how to derive himself, but such a reader would then not really even need to be given the formula by the book in the first place. What makes a person educated in finance worth more than the the price of his or her financial calculator is that person's understanding of these formulas and how financial analysis is approached.
Otherwise this is not a bad book. Some financial theory is discussed, and this book explains the basics of financial markets and different forms of financial instruments, so the reader should be able to walk away from this book with at least a basic understanding of these topics. However, for those who wish to gain a solid understanding of this topics a more in depth book is needed.
