Much better than the 5th edition - problems are worked by hand, formula and Excel. Not for the faint of heart however - works fine with a class presentation and using the accompanying website which has detailed Powerpoints and examples for every chapter. In combination with the web site - it is an excellent, math intensive text. Covers lots of ground and examples are current - a failing in many other texts.

I don't understand where all of the negative reviews are coming from. The 6th edition of this textbook was used in my Financial Aspects of Engineering class my final semester. Officially it is a 400 level course, but in reality it is more like a 200 level course. I literally skipped half of the lectures (remember, it was my final semester) and still earned an A in the class. I think grades were based on a bell curve like most engineering courses, so it's not like everyone received an A. Since I missed so many lectures, I had to rely very heavily on the textbook to learn the material.
I sold the book after the course was over to get some quick cash, but I'm regretting it. I can't remember anything now, and the subject matter of this textbook is starting to be more relevant in my personal and professional lives, so I'm going to buy it again. I highly recommend it as a reference and introduction to real world economic and financial problems.
