Financial management is often portrayed as a demonic science, littered with spreadsheets, inexplicable charts, intricate formulas and all washed down with swathes of unintelligible jargon. In reality,successful financial management is all about the management of just four figures. Knowing what these four figures are, how they interrelate and (most importantly) how they can be managed is the key to financial success. This is what David Meckin calls 'the four figure trick.' Almost every major business failure can be pinned down to the ineffective management of at least one of these critical figures. Focusing attention on just four figures not only makes the world of financial management far more accessible to the non-financial manager, it also greatly simplifies the decision-making process. Avoiding all the complexities normally associated with the topic, THE 4 FIGURE TRICK highlights a variety of practical managerial strategies that can significantly enhance the financial performance of any business.

Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) was a renowned Polish/American mathematician, a giant of the twentieth century, who helped establish the foundations of geometry, set theory, model theory, algebraic logic and universal algebra. Throughout his career, he taught mathematics and logic at universities and sometimes in secondary schools. Many of his writings before 1939 were in Polish and remained inaccessible to most mathematicians and historians until now. This self-contained book focuses on Tarski’s early contributions to geometry and mathematics education, including the famous Banach–Tarski paradoxical decomposition of a sphere as well as high-school mathematical topics and pedagogy. These themes are significant since Tarski’s later research on geometry and its foundations stemmed in part from his early employment as a high-school mathematics teacher and teacher-trainer. The book contains careful translations and much newly uncovered social background of these works written during Tarski’s years in Poland. Alfred Tarski: Early Work in Poland serves the mathematical, educational, philosophical and historical communities by publishing Tarski’s early writings in a broadly accessible form, providing background from archival work in Poland and updating Tarski’s bibliography.
