This lively and practical introduction to the mathematics of money
invites us to take a fresh look at the numbers that underpin our
financial decisions. Morton D. Davis talks about strategies to use
when we are required to bet against the odds (purchasing auto
insurance) or choose to bet against the odds (wagering in a casino
or at the track). He considers the ways in which we can streamline
and simplify the choices available to us in mortgages and other
loans. And he helps us understand the real probabilities when we
accept a tip on that "one in a thousand" stock, even when the tip
comes from a successful day trader. With a wealth of entertaining
and counterintuitive examples, The Math of Money delights as well
as informs, and will help readers treat their financial resources
more rationally.
