We usually use review and ratings count to gauge whether a book is worth reading. Although this book does not have many ratings or reviews, maybe because math is not a very popular topic, it is an excellent book for what it sets out to do, giving the reader a broad overview of the everyday math of personal and business finance. It also provides the reader with the used math formulas in this domain; it does a great job accomplishing its mission and deserves a 5-star rating.
