5.0 out of 5 stars Bible of Forecasting, 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
An excellent text that starts from the very basics and goes through the latest methods. Also, because it avoids linear algebra where it can it is very readable by the non-mathematicians. However, mathematically strong readers should find it very useful since it states in plain English the intuition behind each method. Note, that I had been puzzled by the first review of this text especially about the Greek alphabet which although it would have been no problem still was misleading about the level of difficulty. A GREAT TEXT AND A MUST FOR INITIATION IN FORECASTING and even contains basic resources for the first time student of forecasting. I think no more than a standard introductory course in statistics is needed to go through the material.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Simple and Useful Text-book for Non-Mathematicians, 15 May 2002
This is a great book to start you off in forecasting. Spyros Makridakis proves again that he can present his excellent ideas in a simple way, making them intelligible for students of different levels (the only prerequisite is your knowledge of simple math). So, whether you new in forecasting or you want to brush up your knowledge -- this book is an ultimate choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forecasting for everyone, 12 Mar 2002
By nfertala@jvi.org (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews
As the forecasting is a very complex problem and not that easy to handle, I found this book as one of the best written on the topic. However, the excellent structure and selection of samples included in, gives one the opportunity for easy following and better understanding.
