Book Hurt Andrew's Brain

My "left brain" is severely underdeveloped (metaphorically speaking, anyway), and I usually don't "get" numbers. It's no surprise that some of this book went straight over my head, including the calculus and higher-level math. However, the problems presented here--including over 100 "real world" problems ripped straight from the headlines--were enough to keep me engaged. Like all good textbooks, if you invest the time you will be rewarded with not only a better understanding of the subject, but, perhaps, of the way our world works.

Managerial Economics Works

For those in Executive MBA programs, this is a terribly useful supporting text for any managerial economics programs. The authors are very aware of who their audience is -- all learning is in a managerial framework (as opposed to the dryer, more theoretical, straight economics textbooks).They cover the basics, but also do a great job on game theory and probablistic decision making. I had no economics before reading this, and found it clear and understandable even for the most abstruse concepts. Highly recommended.
