In an intuitive and non-mathematical writing style, Brightman uses actual business applications and covers practical insights in business problem solving using Microsoft Excel as the primary computational tool. His clear, to-the-point presentation gives students a 'map' for learning what data analysis techniques to use and when to use them. |

Business
Statistics (Barron's Business Review Series)
Review I read this book just before starting an MBA course called "Basic Statistics". I found the book to be clear, intuitive and it certainly covered all topics we discussed in class. In my opinion, this book presents an easy way to understand Statistics by applying them to real business situations. I still use it as reference at work. Highly recommendable for business people interested in Statistics and with no much background in Math (just make sure you know how to add) |

Introduction
to Mathematical Finance : Discrete Time Models
Review Pliska's book lays out the fundamentals of discrete time models in a clear and concise manner. The book is mostly self contained and well supported with examples that enhance understanding. I read it as a part of my introductory Phd finance course along with Theory of Financial Decision Making by Ingersoll and Foundations for Financial Economics Huang & Litzenberger (not direct competitors) and found Pliska's book to be the most understandable of the three. |
