What can I say...as a student I am not impressed with this book at all. It is full of mistakes. How are students supposed to correctly learn the material if their texts are full of mistakes?

I especially recommend that you steer away from buying the solutions manual. The text's solution guide does not even match the manual.

I would love to sit and list all of the mistakes, but frankly it would take me an infinite amount of time.

The book also includes free access to [a website], which inconveniently does not list the mistakes in the book. I would give the authors more credit for their book if they would put their mistakes on the website instead of forcing students to wade through murky waters.

I don't know why someone said this book is full of mistakes. I really studied through the whole book and couldn't find a single mistake. I am an international student from germany and so english is my second language. This book explains problems step by step and has a lot of exercises with anser keys in the back for all odd problems as well as a review test for each single chapter. I also really like this book, since my math instructor doesn't know how to explain things, so I had to read this book in and out. It is good for self study.

Math books are not fun reading, this book isn't an exception. But, it is extremely easy to use. The examples and lessons are laid out in great detail, and the actual questions are relevant to today's society. Gone are the monotonous questions of trains and what time they are leaving the station. These boring problems are replaced by ones themed around iPods and Xbox. The answers conveniently placed in the back of the book are easy to navigate and make this book better than the teacher. For my college math 120 class this book allows me a guaranteed A

I planned on buying this book from another seller and they canceled on me and my classes start on Monday! I bought from her and she shipped as soon as she got the order ! All I have to say is awesome I got the book within 24 hours. ( I do live in same state but still! ) Awesome Awesome Awesome! Thanksssssss so much!

This is not a book to use for on-line classes. Does not read well and does not show step by step instructions that are easy to follow. I aced my last 2 math classes, but am having difficulty in this one. Not because of the material, but because the way the book reads.
