Beschreibung des Verlags
Written in a lighthearted and humorous style, this comprehensive guide is ideal for the general reader with little math experience who wants to understand the concepts underlying everyday financial decisions. Organized for easy reference, this book provides the necessary tools to make informed decisions about investments, mortgages, insurance, cash flow, and risk-taking.
"As Robert L. Hershey points out in his new book, 'All the Math You Need to Get Rich: Thinking With Numbers for Financial Success' . . . none of us can afford to maintain a phobia about math.
". . . I highly recommend Hershey's book because he uses examples . . . to walk you through the many different mathematical equations you'll need to understand such concepts as percentages, the time value of money, and compound interest.
" . . . As Hershey says, 'Thinking with numbers helps you to plan ahead, so you'll have money now and money later, too.'"

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Comparing mortgage rates at different banks is pointless if one can't calculate monthly payments or the ultimate cost of the house. Likewise, evaluating the performance of several mutual funds is difficult if one doesn't understand which figures to examine. With calculators and online tools, most people will never have to calculate interest rates or the U.S.'s annual oil consumption. However, Hershey provides basic formulas for many mathematical equations for discounts, interest rates and bond yields that are needed daily. Not for number-phobes, this book will behoove readers who want key formulas at their fingertips. Illus. not seen by PW.
