Yes, it would be accurate to say that this book doesn't do a very good job explaining things, that there are homework problems that as questions about concepts not covered in the book, and that some of the answers in the back are incorrect; however, when I say "sucks" I mean that it's not very well made. Two weeks into class, pages started falling out of this NEW book.

More than likely you don't have a choice about what textbooks your class needs - but in this case, two suggestions: 1. Buy the solutions manual (because this book sucks). 2. Buy the hardcover version of this book (because this book sucks).

This is a bad textbook for this subject. I had to buy it because of a class. Perfect condition, and arrived within a week using standard shipping.

I needed to take this course for the CS program at my university. It sucks for someone that doesnt know anything about the subject. It doesnt go into enough detail to explain the steps needed to solve the problems. You only have answers for odd questions and they dont have the steps on how they got that answer.

The subject is not hard to understand if you have taken a college level algebra class. But book could go into more detail in showing all steps and also provide more examples of each concept.
