I had the 9th "Brief Edition" of this book and enjoyed it immensely. I was able to read and understand it prior to class and it encouraged me to take more advanced math.

Attention future buyers! Don't buy expedited shipping. It took 8 days to get my book, which itself is great. "Like New" condition turned out to be very much like new.
