This book was perfect for someone who needs to refresh their math skills. We just started working in the book, but so far its explanations are clear and easy to follow. It came in a timely manner and was the exact book I needed. The price was excellent as well.

The book for the most part was in good shape, until you opened it up. Someone had torn out all the pages from chapter 7. I am not sure how you can justify selling a book in "like new" condition when a chapter is missing. Amazon was good and paid for the return shipping.
