Good approach but lacking in some details - I used this book as the required textbook for an Introductory course on Quantitative Methods for Management at the Master s level. It has the benefit of being brief, inexpensive, and covers both mathematics and statistics, which few books of this type do.In the end this book may work better for people who have already had some exposure to this material and who simply need a refresher. For those students who have very little quantitative background, it may be too brief. A more comprehensive book is probably be more appropriate in this case.The students complained about numerous small mistakes, which, with luck, have been removed in the second edition.
