The goal of Business Quantitative Analysis: A Practical Approach is to explain business math concepts in a manner that focuses on their practical application in the business environment. Spreadsheet software is a major tool in the business environment. Therefore, the text emphasizes using spreadsheets (specifically, Microsoft’s Excel) to solve mathematical problems.
Each chapter of the book has an explanation of the mathematical processes involved, examples of solving the problems and a series of exercises to practice the concept. One special characteristic of the text is made possible because the text is an online text. Most explanations are followed by a web link to a video explanation of the material by the author. The videos provide a visual and auditory alternative for those who might struggle to pick up mathematical concepts from reading a text.
