This review is more of a response to the previous review:

["A reader from College Park , January 18, 1999" The Worst Study Guide I've Ever Read While his poor textbook demands that this study guide be purchased through its own lack of thoroughness, Lay's Study Guide really doesn't help at all.]

Yes, it is frustrating when the answers in the back of the text book refer you to the study guide, especially when you don't have the study guide. I wish some of the chapters did go into more depth. I have found though that the study guide often gives another approach to viewing the concepts, and emphasizes important ideas. It compliments the text book well. I am glad I got the book.

If I were to speculate, the author of the previous review has a personal vendetta against Dr. David C. Lay considering he attended the school that Dr. Lay teaches at.

While his poor textbook demands that this study guide be purchased through its own lack of thoroughness, Lay's Study Guide really doesn't help at all.
