 A very good reference for cost estimating methods November 1, 2008
Engineer (Germany)
This book gives a good overview of current cost analysis and estimating methods. The given examples and exercises help to understand how to use the methods. I recommend this book to everybody who is interested in cost estimating methods. To understand the described methods it is necessary to have some knowledge of mathematics and in some cases an engineering background.
Not bad for a basic text January 20, 2009

Purchased as a text.
Very generic and simple. If you are looking for an advanced primer, look into a chemical engineering series text by McGraw Hill.

The author of the book goes over the top in derivation in his calculations. It's almost as if he's trying to show off instead of keeping the math simple and relevant. However, considering the other books for this topic, there are no better.
