Book excerpt: This no-nonsense guide provides students and self-learners with a clear and readable study of the most important ideas of loans, interest rates, and investments. Tim Hill's distraction-free approach combines decades of tutoring experience with the proven methods of his Russian math teachers. The result: a strong grasp of basic financial concepts, including cash flows, timing issues, the time value of money, and the power of compound interest. - Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of financial products, including mortgages, student loans, leases, credit-card debt, car payments, medical expenses, annuities, retirement funds, and stock purchases. - Avoids the mindless and excessive routine computations that characterize conventional textbooks. - Treats financial mathematics as a logically coherent discipline, not as a disjointed collection of techniques. - Restores proofs to their proper place to remove doubt, convey insight, and encourage precise logical thinking. - Omits digressions, excessive formalities, and repetitive exercises. - Includes examples that extend your knowledge rather than merely reinforce it.
