This review is from: Student Solutions Manual for College Mathematics: 2009 Update with MyMathLab (Paperback)

This product to my understanding said that it would come with a MyMathLab access code to use on the internet, but it did not. I am disappointed and I can't get in contact with the right person to help me with this issue. NOT HAPPY
