5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD MATH BOOK!!!!!!, May 19, 2004

By	Mr. Wynn (State of Confusion) - See all my reviews

So often, math textbooks are beyond anyone's comprehension. Here is one book that has changed all that! There are plenty of examples and explains the reasons and theories as to why a certain math topic is solved the way it is. It also shows different ways one could solve problems!

This 6th edition doesn't have much difference from the 5th except for more on Statistics and Probability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Customer!, September 17, 2005

By	D. Thompson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was the first used textbook that I purchased online. The book was in almost-new condition, it arrived within 5 days after I placed the order, AND the cost was 50% less than the used book price at my college bookstore! I'll be searching Amazon again next semester!
