Review :
This would be an ideal set text for courses in quantitative or research methods and could be studied in the classroom or at a distance. Individuals preparing for the examinations of professional bodies (for example accounting would find it useful). This text demonstrates its relevance being firmly grounded in reality and by providing practical examples of how quantitative techniques are used’. THES 11th November 2005 This excellent text exactly mirrors the course I currently teach. I am extremely pleased with the extensive examples provided, both within the chapters and at its conclusion. Also the inclusion of "road tests" which provide real world applications of the methods are extremely interesting. The linkage to the current releases of software are extremely useful. Mike Cox, University of Newcastle upon Tyne The new title recently published, The A to Z of QM: Quantitative Methods for Business, offers a refreshing and enthusiastic approach to a subject that many students find daunting. Unlike other texts available for students in this field, The A to Z of QM leads the student steadily through the subject with ease. The informal style adopted ensures that the fundamental concepts are fully understood and builds on these to provide comprehensive tuition. Examples provided in the text are fully explained and show all stages of the calculations. The question, “Where does that figure come from?” is an unlikely occurrence due to the clear analysis provided. Appropriate questions are provided in each chapter to enable the student to review their progress; answers to all questions are included in the text ensuring that the learning process can be adequately and smoothly assessed. Students are able to understand the concepts and apply their learning to practical business situations. Heather Owen, Programme Leader and Lecturer, School of Accounting and Economics,Napier University Overall this is an excellent text that I would recommend to any student struggling with the quantitative elements of professional accountancy examinations. Steve Jay Tutor for The Financial Training Company and Examiner for Certified Accounting Technicians This is a useful introductory text in Quantitative Techniques and their application in commerce and industry for students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I particularly like the section in each chapter which describes actual applications of the techniques introduced. Philip Entwistle Senior Lecturer in Management Science Northampton Business School
