Readings and resources
- The slides from the 2012 class are in tab 3 of the notes from last year. I'm posting this for those students that might want to read ahead. I'm modifying the slides somewhat from last year, but feel free to go through the 2012 ones if you want.
- We will be covering not only engineering economics in 4N, but also a bit of "personal economics". Take a look at this article. As engineers, you will have to decide on finances for the company are you working for, which is no different to making financial decisions for your own life.
- All the spreadsheet examples used in class are available.
