3.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book for trying to learn by hand, December 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great book if you need to learn how to do economics in Excel. If you want to learn how to do any of this by hand, choose another book. I am a senior college student studying for Architectural Engineering. Our professor said we could not do anything by Excel during our tests, so we needed to do it by hand. But every example in the book uses Excel. Because the book is going to use Excel, it skips important steps and explanations needed for hand calculations. In the chapters, it does not properly explain how hand calculations go. It is very vague. And it admits in the book that it makes up processes because, "it just made sense to them". Not the type of book I would prefer to learn from. All in all, proceed with caution if getting it for hand calculations.
