Teaching

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I use this book to tutor an adult who wants to go into the business and I find it very useful. From what I have seen, it covers everything.

Thankful for the math review!

I'm only half way through it but so far so good. Very basic.

I am a chef getting ready to start my own restaurant/catering business. After reading this easy to understand, well-written book, I am confident in my knowledge of the math I will need to succeed. Glad someone took the time to share such useful information.

Very Simple

I hate math and am trying to get ready for Culinary School in March so I have been reading everything I can get my hands on to help. This is a very simple book, with easy to understand examples.
