Management Math has the answers. It's an executive summary of the basic math tools that can quickly make you a more successful manager. The book is a perfect bound, 6" x 9" glossy paperback available from the secure site at Lulu.com for $14.48 US. It is also available as a FREE .pdf download (3.6 MB).
The 135 topics are arranged alphabetically (from Absolute Value to Zero-Sum Games) so you can go straight to the subject of interest.
Each topic is covered in one or two pages, and each is stand-alone (there is no need to read page twenty-seven before you read page thirty-three). There is almost no theory; explanations rely on simple examples, not complex mumbo-jumbo.
The coverage is wide, but not deep. Like any executive summary, it is designed to give you the basic concepts, not the particulars. Key words are in italics to quickly capture your eye.
The author has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, a master’s degree in operations research and systems analysis, and over thirty years experience as a manager, administrator, consultant, and small-business owner. His mission here is to make the tools of mathematics familiar and approachable.
