Requiring only a background in high school algebra, Kaminsky's Financial Literacy: Introduction to the Mathematics of Interest, Annuities, and Insurance uses an innovative approach in order to make today's college student literate in such financial matters as loans, pensions, and insurance. Included are hundreds of examples and solved problems, as well as several hundred exercises backed up by a solutions manual.
Kenneth Kaminsky received his Ph.D. in applied and mathematical statistics from Rutgers University and has since taught at universities in Sweden and the United States. He is currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Augsburg College. Some of his mathematical and other cartoons can be seen at www.mathcartoons.com.
