Excellent Value [Posted on 2002-10-18]
The target audience of this book is people who want to know how to estimate annuities, life insuarance premiums etc. If you are sitting the actuarial exam(SOA) 2 this is what you need for the Theory of Interest part. It also covers parts of exam 3. The book is affordable and way better than any other else. The methodology is crystal clear.
A Good Reference and a Self-Study Guide [Posted on 2006-07-11]
As with most of the books from the Schaum's Outline collection, this book comprises the fundamentals so it can be used as a supplement to standard textbooks in class, as a stand-alone study aid, or as a reference for the professional practitioner.
My academic background is in Electronics Engineering, so I really didn't take any courses on finances back in College. When my work forced me to gain knowledge in the area of Financial Math I turned to this book as a self study guide. The text is clear, has a lot of worked problems and examples, and it did its job: Gave me the knowledge I needed.
No wonder that this is actually the Very best-selling book of the whole Schaum's Outline collection.
Effective refresher ... Efficient reference [Posted on 2007-01-06]
I recommend this text to financial professionals I teach ... VERY helpful to clear the cobwebs several years after college!
VERY GOOD BOOK ALSO FOR BUSINESS PEOPLE [Posted on 2007-02-03]
I am a manager, and sometimes I listen to financial managers without being deeply involved in their technical language. After reading and practicing this book , I am able to use my skills more proactively working with them.

not what i was looking for [Posted on 2007-12-08]
This don't work for me because I need to start at a more elementary level. It appeared that this book had a lot of solved problems and would be very helpful to the appropriate student level. My mistake.
