This book brings to the study of business mathematics the same solved problems approach which has provided so successful in other volumes of the Schaum's Outline Series. Schaum's Outline Of Business Mathematics is organized around the practical application of mathematical concepts used in the financial world. The work that is presented in the following pages will provide students 1. concise definitions and explanations in easily understood terms with illustrative examples 2/ fully worked-out solutions to a large range of problems (against which students can check their own solutions) 3. supplementary problems The primary purpose of the book is to increase the student's competency in the mathematical computation of practical business problems; however, the student need not fear the mathematics involved. It is presented here in an easy-to-understand, readable way, and if the student is willing to expend a little time and effort, he or she will be rewarded with basic knowledge of the field of business mathematics.
