The ninth edition builds upon its previous success to provide a fresh and up-to-date survey of the finance discipline. This edition is uniquely structured. Its 18 chapters cover the 3 major fields of finance - institutions, investments, and management - in 3 six-chapter parts. For students who do not plan on taking additional coursework in finance.
I had to read for school its not a book I would have picked up to read. But I did read chapters 1-13 for school which it was for the semester. I read chapters 1-6 for midterm and 7-13 for final. The first time I had to read I never finished reading it, It is a hard subject because of the formulas to know. Even though the professor let us have the formulas in a sheet of paper. He did not teach how to use the financial calculator also allowed for the test. The financial calculator was not helpful for the exam.
