Corporate Financial Management is a thorough and comprehensive introduction into corporate finance, yet is very approachable. It takes the student from an assumption of no knowledge through to a comprehensive grounding in corporate financial management. The book has a very accessible writing style and has frequent demonstration of how and why the theory is relevant and can be applied. The author's rule is " Is this knowledge sufficiently useful out there, in the real world, to make it worth while for the reader to study it?" If not, then it is not included. Mathematical explanations are covered early and in a simple style. New skills are fully explained and illustrated as and when required.
