From the Author
Its not dull!...
Hi
Books about numbers can be deadly dull. I tried to make The Numbers Guide lively and accessible. It shows you how these number things work without boring you with academic proofs. You can read a text book if you want this.
When I wrote The Numbers Guide I tried to cram as many useful numercial and business decision making techniques as possible into its pages. But I tried to keep them simple and accessible to the non-specialist. You have a complete University course in qualitative techniques here in one friendly little book.
You can find out more about the book at my web site...I'd welcome feedback and suggestions for improvement. Feel free to email me.
Nice to meet you.
Happy browsing
