All the Math You Need to Get Rich provides readers with all the necessary tools to make informed decisions about their personal finances. Written in a lighthearted style, the book moves step by step through several sample problems that will help readers make their own day-to-day decisions. Subjects cover the full range of concerns: mortgage payments, compound interest, stocks and mutual funds, cash flow, percentages, probabilities, installment plans, rates of return, gambling and risk-taking, and insurance. Organized and indexed for easy reference, this guide explains these difficult concepts so that even the math-phobic reader will be able to understand without a struggle.
Robert Hershey, an engineering consultant, writes articles that explain complex mathematical concepts to the layperson. He has worked with Booz Allen, Science Management Corporation, the Department of Defense, and Bell Labs.
