Quantitative methods for business

by David R. Anderson

This revision of the classic Quantitative Methods for Business provides readers with a conceptual understanding of the role that quantitative methods play in the decision-making process. This text describes the many quantitative methods that have been developed over the years, explains how they work, and shows how the decision-maker can apply and interpret data. Written with the non-mathematician in mind, this text is applications-oriented. Its Problem-Scenario Approach motivates and helps the reader to understand and apply mathematical concepts and techniques. In addition, the managerial orientation uses examples that illustrate situations in which quantitative methods are useful in decision making.

Reviews

[Drew Canole]

I tried reading this straight through. The early chapters are accessible, but the later chapters become fairly convoluted. I later took a university class that used this text book and the instructions of a professor, as well as the direction of homework assignments and a testable curriculum made this book easier to digest.

Not recommended if you're simply interested in the subject. I would assume that there are better books out there.

The probability of me reading this again is 0.

Which I now know is within the range.

Great book. Concepts explained cleanly and with examples. It's helping me a lot in getting through my uni class.
