EXCELLENT text

Review Date: April 16, 2009

Reviewer: K. York, Albuquerque, NM

I'm one of those poor souls who had the 'new math' sprung on them in 4th grade (when it was decided we all had to learn Base 2 and get to the Moon) and from then on I was TOTALLY out of the loop in math. Something didn't 'click' and no teacher caught it. I was in the group that a news story said "was ruined for math by the New Math".

Unfortunately, my Master's degree includes managerial accounting. I had to drop that class after one session. Nothing made sense.

This book to the rescue! As an instructor (not in acctng!), I can tell you it is set up very well. Each concept is taught in little 'bites' and I am able to understand each as I go. I did see a review, here, that said the book was a piece of junk. Even though I have a VERY good instructor in this class, I don't think that's why the book seems so good. As I work in it during the week, it stands on its own very well.

I especially appreciate the examples and explanations. We follow a very down-to-earth company through the processes to run a business and keep the books. Nice.

Although financial accounting is different from the managerial I must take, I now have the 'basics'. The authors took a LOT of extra time to make it work.

Our instructor supplies the PPT presentations (provided with the instructor's copy, I assume) for our use, and they are great to print and take notes on. They are also very helpful if you can use your notes during the exams.
