This book is so pathetically minimal that I award it...1/10 of a star. (It may be useful in starting a fire in your fireplace...maybe). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS SOLUTION MANUAL! It only includes about every other odd solution, and most of the time, it shows just the (often incorrect) answer. The worst part is, that same answer is usually in the back of the textbook! It is definitely not worth even $5.00, so save your money!

I purchased this book hoping to get more in depth explanations to the answers to the problems in the main text book, but in the end get very little from it. For some, like me, calculus is a difficult subject and any extra help can go a long ways. This student solutions manual only includes answers to EVER OTHER ODD problem. Not every odd, not every other, only every other odd (i.e. 1, 5, 9, etc.) I find the "hard" problems in the main text are frequently NOT the ones the solutions manual shows. The few problems from each section that are actually covered do show most of the intermediate steps between the original problem and the final solution in the scope of the section/chapter. Also, there is no explanation on what is being done in each step; the solution from each major step is shown with no information about how that step (or solution) was achieved. In the end the price simply is not worth paying for only a very small subset of solutions.

This manual has very few questions worked out. I find it much more helpful to my learning to check my answers in the back of the textbook and work them out again if they are wrong. Don't bother to buy this.

I bought this Student Solutions Manual as your website suggested along with Calculus : Single Variable. The solution manual was the third edition while Calculus, Single Variable was the fourth edition. You need to correct your website because the solutions manual does not match the text book. I did return this book.

This book does not match the text book that Amazon says it
is supposed to accompany, do not buy!

This manual has only every other odd problems solved(1,5,9...) Who is going to do others? Answers are not consistent with the book. It is very brief and not as comprehensive as calculus students may need.

worst solutions manual i have ever "used". actually i could not even use this because every problem i was assigned in the class was not covered in this book. i am a parent and full time worker as well as full time student and i have limited time to get lab/teacher assistance and look to solution manuals to help clear any confusion i have on certain problems and this did not do that.

if you can find instructors annotated edition, i recommend it.

My purchase was quick and satisfactory. The product came quite new and in terrific condition. Overall, I am quite pleased.

Overall experience with Amazon was great, as far as the shipping, purchasing, billing, etc.... everything went very well and the book showed up on time and in great condition. I wouldn't recommend buying it though, it's only got random solutions....I was hoping for all of the even solutions.

THIS BOOK IS POOP.
It's good for Triumph the insult comic dog to poop on.
Worthless.
Poop. (oh, I already said that)
