5.0 out of 5 stars
Review: Mathematics All Around,
This review is from: Mathematics All Around (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)
I was satified with this book. The only comment that I would make it that the seller stated that it was brand new which it was not because there was pencil marks on one of the pages. But other than that the book came in excellent condition.
