Hi Monique,

The topic of Business Math may be daunting to students. One of the resources I have found very useful is the Rent vs. Buy Calcualator by NY times. It provides INTERACTIVITY, which is an engaging quality in any website. (Similar interactivity is expected in your Group Final project for ABED6107 course).

Check out the calculator at:

Hey Monique,

I like your blog about Business Math. I wish that I could have learned this business math in high school. Real-life topics like computing payroll and taxes would help many in the business world. I like the links that you have listed and bankrate.com is one of my favorite ones. I usually go there to find the best credit cards and find the latest interest rate information for mortgages.

Hi Monique,

As an accountant by trade, I obviously like your blog topic. There are a number of times in which my students have difficulty with basic math, budgeting, etc..


I found this website that helps with retirement savings calculations and compounding interest, thought you may find it interesting:
