3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but has errors, November 20, 2008

By	Psalm73 (Modesto, CA) - See all my reviews

As a student who is learning intermediate algebra, it is important to have a book that has been well proofread and that can be trusted to be correct. I found many errors and didn't recognize them as such until I asked my professor. Some errors were typographical, problems were mixed up in one section, and some were just plain wrong. I know that people make errors, but this should have been better proofread.

Some examples:

Pg. 375 A "2" was ommitted in the distance column in the table on questions 75.
Pg. 459 through pg 461 - The problems are misnumbered.
Pg. 463. The answers for 39-47 are obviously incorrect.

These were just a few that I found. Overall, though, I did find the book to be helpful in checking my solutions.

Just don't get too frustrated if your work doesn't match this book's. Be aware that there are errors.

I received this a day sooner than quoted. The book was in new condition (as it was listed) and was very happy with it.
