3.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful but oddly limited, February 13, 2009
This review is from: Student Solutions Manual for Epp's Discrete Mathematics with Applications, 3rd (Paperback)
Pros: The book has condensed summaries of material from the textbook, chapter reviews that are unavailable in the textbook, and the answers for selected problems. Solutions are shown with each step worked out in order.
Cons: The answers in this book are only for the problems that are (a) multiples of three, and (b) not already published in the back of the textbook. For example: in chapter four, section 2, the multiple-of-three rule means that the answers for problems 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, etc. should be in the guide. However, the answers for problems 3, 6, 21, 24, and 27 are printed in the back of the textbook. This means that for the first 30 problems, the guide only has answers for problems 9, 12, 15, 18, and 30. The constant flipping back and forth gets annoying fast (for me). Also, the rules mean that you never know exactly which answers are in the guide (since the textbook publishes answers in the back at random).

Not what I expected, September 11, 2009
This review is from: Student Solutions Manual for Epp's Discrete Mathematics with Applications, 3rd (Paperback)
I was hoping for an in depth answer solution set for at least all the odd problems. It is not like that, it is only selected problems that have answers. Basically I shouldnt have bought this book.
