Applied Economic Analysis for Technologists, Engineers, and Managers

by Michael S. Bowman

While mathematics is used throughout, the focus of this text is on the application of the math techniques in real-world settings. It presents the interrelationship among engineering economy, manufacturing costs, cost improvements, and related topics from the perspective of technical and operating personnel rather than a financial viewpoint. The book covers traditional engineering economy (i.e., time value of money), basic organizational financial concepts (i.e., financial statements and cost accounting), and contemporary financial measurement and improvement concepts.

The paperback of this is physically awful. Best to get in hardcover if you can.
