5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for very beginners, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (Hardcover)

I and my friends(with no business background) are studying corporate finance by ourselves using this book and all of us are very satisfied with the book so far.

The concepts are explained very clearly(even kindly) and sample tests with complete solutions are very useful. The book also has solutions for selected end-of-the chapter problems and I enjoy mini cases which help me apply the concepts to the practice in detail.

I had tried other finance books before and most of them were not clear in explaining concepts and a bit difficult for me(my major was chemistry). I think that this book is probably the easiest and the best book to begin with for starters in finance.

5.0 out of 5 stars From zero to understanding finance concept by concept., March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fundamentals of Corporate Finance (Hardcover)

This book is excelent for understanding finance from scratch. I read the spanish translation of this book. It is not a book "for dummies". It teaches each concept at a time in a clear way.
