Spreadsheet Modeling in Investments Book and CD-ROM Review

This is NOT a handy book of spreadsheet templates for use in finance. It IS a book to TEACH you about building spreadsheets for use in finance. The author has built dozens of very useful spreadsheets that he gives you step-by-step instructions on building and WHAT the step is about.
If you build all of the spreadsheets in the book you will gain a great deal of understanding about the subjects covered in the book and will be miles ahead of the calculator-based approach typical in today's classrooms. No professionals use calculators to figure duration or convexity or optimal portfolios, why should you? This is a very needed book and a nice approach to the subject.
I like this version of the book MUCH better than the Fundamentals version. But that is my preference; pick the book that is right for you. They are both very good. I intend to get more in the series.

For graduate courses in investments.Spreadsheet Modeling in Investments teaches students how to build financial models in Excel. This book and CD provides step-by-step instructions so that students can build models themselves (active learning), rather than handing students canned "templates" (passive learning). The spreadsheet models progress from simple examples to practical, real-world applications.
