Essentials of Corporate Finance focuses on what undergraduate
students with widely varying backgrounds need to carry away from a
core course in business or corporate finance. The goal is to convey
the most important concepts at a level that is approachable for the
widest possible audience. Essentials is written in a relaxed,
conversational style that invites the students to join in the
learning process rather than being a passive information absorber.
Essentials has three basic themes as a central focus: An Emphasis
on Intuition: We always try to separate and explain the principles
at work on a commonsense, intuitive level before launching into any
specifics. A Unified Valuation Approach: We treat net present value
(NPV) as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. A
Managerial Focus: Students shouldn't lose sight of the fact that
financial management concerns management. We emphasize the role of
the financial manager as decision-maker, and we stress the need for
managerial input and judgment.

Business School. A Professor of Finance, David was recognized as

Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, and Jordan, was
written for the corporate finance course at the MBA level and the
intermediate course in many undergraduate programs. The text
emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance while
providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life.
The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a
small number of integrated and powerful intuitions rather than a
collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts
of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets,
agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return,
and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory
and application. The 13th edition also welcomes a special
contributor, Professor Kelly Shue of Yale University.
Fundamentals of Investments is aimed at the introductory
investments class with students who have relatively little
familiarity with investments. The text is written in a relaxed,
informal style that engages the student and treats him or her as an
active participant rather than a passive information absorber.
Fundamentals appeals to intuition and basic principles whenever
possible because the authors found that this approach effectively
promotes understanding. The text also makes extensive use of
examples, drawing on material from the world around us and using
familiar companies wherever appropriate. Throughout, the text
strikes a balance by introducing and covering the essentials while
leaving some of the details to follow-up courses. Topics are
organized in a way that would make them easy to apply-whether to a
portfolio simulation or to real life-and support these topics with
hands-on activities. This tenth edition provides a terrific
framework and introduction for students looking to pursue a career
in investments-particularly for those interested in eventually
holding the CFA charter.
