Finance Essentials, 1st Edition
David Kidwell, Mark Brimble, Nigel Morkel-Kingsbury, Paul Mazzola, Jennifer James
ISBN: 9780730363385, 9780730363071
David S. Kidwell’s first edition of Finance Essentials has been specifically developed for use in an introductory and core finance unit for students undertaking a business degree. It is eminently more suited for business students who are not completing a major in finance, as it focuses on the impact of finance in business and complex mathematical concepts are presented in a more engaging format.
Delivered as a full colour printed textbook with an interactive eBook code included, this title enables you to master concepts and succeed in assessment by taking the roadblocks out of self-study, with features designed so you get the most out of learning. This rich digital resource brings finance to life with media such as videos, case studies, interactives and revision materials embedded at the point of learning.
Features
- Hear from Practitioners: Exclusive videos from high-profile practitioners at KPMG provide insights into the real-world application of accounting.
Interactive Revision Tutorials: Interactive tutorials are integrated throughout the text to help students engage with course content and test their understanding of key concepts.
Aligned Content: The first edition is designed in 12 concise chapters to align with the most common topics in a typical first-year finance unit for business students.
Proven Pedagogy: Interactive tutorials take you through the most difficult financial maths problems step-by-step, helping students understand how the answer is reached.
