I’m finishing up teaching an undergraduate advance on Claimed Accounts this month, for which I acquisition the assigned arbiter absolutely useless, so I am on a adventure to appear up with a advantageous book to acclaim for acceptance as able-bodied as Bankers Anonymous readers.
What’s useful
The best absorbing backbone of Master Math: Business and Claimed Accounts Math by Mary Hansen is that it cuts out all the (mostly) blah ‘advice’ of a claimed accounts book, and concentrates instead on how to do the calculations. The algebraic akin never rises above algebra, which bluntly is all anyone needs to know, in adjustment to abundantly administer their claimed or baby business finances.
I acquisition this a advantageous adviser for a ‘Do-It-Yourselfer,’ or a being absorbed on acquirements absolutely how car accommodation companies account APR vs. APY, or allowance companies adduce appellation activity insurance. A CFO for a baby business or non-profit would additionally acceptable account from this advantageous anterior reference.
I’ve frequently paid but never alone affected FICA taxes, for example, and it’s somewhat acceptable to apprentice how aboveboard the algebraic is. I accept alone able business antithesis bedding and budgets, debt to disinterestedness ratios, and tracked profitability, but the aboveboard presentation would be advantageous to others who accept not done so before, but who charge to learn.

What’s missing
Missing from Master Math, however, is my claimed pet project: Understanding discounted cashflows and admixture absorption – the keys to acceptable claimed accounts decisions. While the columnist presents a ‘compound interest’ table and defines the appellation (in animosity to simple interest), a table does not absolutely cut it.
The limitations of book media for claimed accounts math
Reading the book this anniversary has aggressive a new thought, however, of which I’m more convinced.
Personal accounts and baby business math, while not complicated, requires delivery with a spreadsheet affairs like Excel.

Master Algebraic offers good, but somewhat bizarre algebraic formulas to account answers. In print, the columnist cannot appearance the activating changes in claimed accounts outcomes from changes in variables.
Properly set up in a spreadsheet like Excel, by contrast, a change in accommodation absorption rate, for example, alters every account acquittal as able-bodied as the absolute amount of a loan. A baby change in automated account withholding, for example, changes aggregate back it comes to abiding retirement savings. Only by seeing the activating effects, I think, can we accept what ascendancy we can accept over claimed banking decisions and outcomes.
What is the appropriate media?
I apperceive Khan Academy has afflicted aggregate back it comes to algebraic pedagogy. Although I enjoyed Master Math, I’m additionally abiding claimed and baby business algebraic has to be taught, and learned, through a aggregate of video, convenance botheration sets, and acquired delivery with Excel. Static argument on a folio isn’t enough.
This is article I’d like to assignment on over the abutting few years.
