Dear Student,
Thank you for picking up a copy of Fractions, Decimals, & Percents. I hope this
book gives you just the guidance you need to get the most out of your GMAT
studies.
A great number of people were involved in the creation of the book you are
holding. First and foremost is Zeke Vanderhoek, the founder of Manhattan Prep.
Zeke was a lone tutor in New York City when he started the company in 2000.
Now, well over a decade later, the company contributes to the successes of
thousands of students around the globe every year.
Our Manhattan Prep Strategy Guides are based on the continuing experiences of
our instructors and students. The overall vision of the 6th Edition GMAT guides
was developed by Stacey Koprince, Whitney Garner, and Dave Mahler over the
course of many months; Stacey and Dave then led the execution of that vision as
the primary author and editor, respectively, of this book. Numerous other
instructors made contributions large and small, but I'd like to send particular
thanks to Josh Braslow, Kim Cabot, Dmitry Farber, Ron Purewal, Emily
Meredith Sledge, and Ryan Starr. Dan McNaney and Cathy Huang provided
design and layout expertise as Dan managed book production, while Liz Krisher
made sure that all the moving pieces, both inside and outside of our company,
came together at just the right time. Finally, we are indebted to all of the
Manhattan Prep students who have given us feedback over the years. This book
wouldn't be half of what it is without your voice.
At Manhattan Prep, we aspire to provide the best instructors and resources
possible, and we hope that you will find our commitment manifest in this book.
We strive to keep our books free of errors, but if you think we've goofed, please
post to manhattanprep.com/GMAT/errata. If you have any questions or
comments in general, please email our Student Services team at
