Book excerpt: "The subject matter can be deceiving, not with respect to content, which is quite clear from the title, but rather with respect to difficulty and tediousness. Moreover, the book is designed to take an important trio of crucial topics and spoon feed them as comfortably as possible to the people who need them the most but like them the least?law students. Many jokingly state that they became law students because they couldn't handle numbers in college. A rude awakening, however, confronts them in practice, where numbers become the primary focus of what they do. As the first pedagogical book combining the subjects of Mathematics, Physics, Finance and Law, this treatise is built on the notion that lawyers are ill prepared to face the world dominated by numbers and the multitudes who know how to distort and misrepresent them". -- PREFACE.
