Tintle, N: A Spiral Approach to Financial Mathematics

Emphasizing financial mathematics literacy, A Spiral Approach toFinancial Mathematics uses a spiral technique that foregrounds an intuitive analysis of data and financial situations. It introduces major financial concepts through real data from real financial situations, integrating expositions and examples with Excel spreadsheets and BA-II PLUS calculator instructions. Organized so sections can be read independently of each other, its table of contents introduces major financial concepts early, then revisits them to maximize exposure and increase retention. Combining interest theory and financial economics in a single volume, progressively presenting connections between the two, A Spiral Approach to Financial Mathematics offers a modern approach that eliminates stultifying and time-consuming calculation without underestimating the ability of readers or impairing their understanding of the material.
