Best FUNDAMENTAL math book

[MRED]

I'm 52 years old, and have been out of high school well over 30 years. I took a lot of college courses, but no math (did not complete college). I need to take the GMAT for an employment related issue, and only need to score 400 for what I need to do. I use fininacial math all the time, and can calculate discounted cash flow analysis, internal rates of return, etc... but do not remember basic math formulas for algebra, geometry, etc... Rather than a math review book, I need some sort of fundamental math book to re-learn from, before I start reviewing it. Does anyone have any recommendations on a fundamental math book? I bought a college algebra book, but don't know if I need other math study material. Any recomendations?

MRED,

Check out https://del.icio.us/beatthegmat/GMAT_Math

I believe the "Year 10 Interactive Maths Support Material" is what you are looking for.

Also, go to the www.mba.com website. Create an account and you will get two free practice CAT(computerized) tests. Before you invest too much time studying you ought see where you stand. You may already be at your 400 mark =)

Good Luck!

###EDIT###

I just noticed this post was made. https://www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-math-re ... t6205.html This is a good reference for you also.

Also, I should have mentioned that most of the experts only recommending studying what is on the exam. It really only tests high school may, albeit Most of us probably couldn't have answered a majority of the questions when in high school..hehe[/url]

Hi there,

Dont know exactly what you are looking for, but I have just worked through the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook and thought it was rather good to refresh the core concepts needed for the GMAT...

I would give it a try...

Hope that helps
