Having a teacher that loved this book didn't help. It was confusing, very hard to read, the problems were boring, and I found lots of typos and grammatical errors. It was just a very frustrating book to work with for a whole semester. The new edition isn't any better.

This product arrived in good condition and with in a good time frame. However in their display the don't show both of the ISBN numbers which angers me a lot because I thought I was buying a book without misprints and I ended up buying a book with misprints, thankfully I can still do my school work, but this could be dangerous for other students.

This book is well written and easy to use, well organized and easy to use.

This book is the companion to the text. It provides step by step solutions to help in arriving to an answer. However, it only provides a solution to the odd questions, and only to about half of those. It seems to skip the majority of problems that I got stuck on. For example: I had a problem on question #15, but the manual provided answers for 11 and then proceeded to #17. This was aggravating. $40? I think not. I may have paid $4 if I had been warned. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SKIP THIS PIECE OF TRASH.

A very useful book for this type of course. It might not be exactly what you're looking for if you want something to read on your own.

I ordered this book along with three others and only this book has been a nightmare. It took two emails for the man selling this book to respond with the fact that he was "out of town" and hadn't recieved money yet even though i have a receipt and the other books i ordered came and were paid for properly. Really scethcy experience when i need the book in a timely manner for class. I would recommend all students buying from this seller beware, might just get the book NEXT semester.

Terrible customer service...they never contacted me after I emailed them several times. I also never received the book that I ordered. I actually had to file a claim with Amazon.
