Unfortunately, people's ability to understand and analyze numbers isn't keeping pace with today's whizzing data streams. And the benefits of living in the Information Age are available only to those who can process the information in front of them.What the Numbers Say offers remedies to this national problem. Through a series of witty and engaging discussions, the authors introduce original quantitative concepts, skills, and habits that reduce even the most daunting numerical challenges to simple, bite-sized pieces.

Offers a series of clear, comprehensible techniques to help readers understand, process, and calculate their way through the vast amount of quantitative data that exists, presenting a series of real-world situations, ranging from stock market probability and interest rate percentages to political po Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
