Need to learn maths...

Let me try and be more clear, I work in a bank and want to move into a position that will likely require more financial statement analysis, I would imagine things such as ROI/ROCE/gearing etc. nothing too hectic but probably some equations etc. I just want a basic maths refresher book. Cheers!

It's not a book but you can refresh yourself on some of those ratios here.

As said, most first year uni management / financial accounting books should have them in.

If you live anywhere near a university, I'd recommend going to its nearest bookshop and asking them for a first year book in the subject you're looking for (I assume it would be actuarial maths?).

Not sure that actuarial maths is what you're after. When I studied that at uni, even in the first year the actuarial maths side of things was more orientated towards pension calcs etc.

Yes, this is an excellent site - I used it a fair bit at A-level / uni. Don't think it would be a great deal of help with financial maths however.
 
An A Level maths book (AQA/OCR) should help I can remember them having those equations in and would give you a refresher on the other stuff aswell.
 
Thanks, a couple of good links there also.

I did cover all of this in my degree in investment management / accounting in the first year, just can't seem to find any of my books. I did GCSE maths and did fine, was never a problem, just didn't love it enough to do it at A-Level.
