This best selling author team explains concepts simply and clearly, without glossing over difficult points. Problem solving and mathematical modeling are introduced early and reinforced throughout, providing students with a solid foundation in the principles of mathematical thinking. Comprehensive and evenly paced, the book provides complete coverage of the function concept, and integrates a significant amount of graphing calculator material to help students develop insight into mathematical ideas. The authors' attention to detail and clarity, the same as found in James Stewart's market-leading Calculus text, is what makes this text the market leader.

Multiple Answers are Wrong/Missing

June 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

While cross-checking my work I noticed that a problem was incorrect. So I called Cengage to them about the problem. They made a note about it and told me "We'll let the editor know". 15 minutes later I call them again to tell them that they missed an entire problem! On page 205 of this book you'll find that answer 11 is incorrect, and that the answer to number 23 is actually the answer to number 25. To make matters worse number 25 is actually the answer to 27! And then we get to their solution to number 29, a solution to a problem that doesn't even exist in the textbook.

So if you do get this book, don't blindly believe everything it says. If you can't figure out how they got their answer it might be because they're wrong.

Needless to say, Cengage will be receiving an angry letter from me.

So-so textbook and the online tools are worthless

June 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

I thought this textbook was "okay." Not the best explanations, but certainly not the worst explanations, and the website that you can purchase and do additional exercises is awful. They need to seriously revamp their online tools. Another book I used for College Algebra was very good...it took you through the steps and provided specific page number from the textbook and also gave an example online. When you submit your answer, you know if it's right or wrong immediately. This one does not do any of that. You just solve the problem and don't know til you're done with all of them if you got something right or wrong. Basically, the online tools were useless and thankfully, my professor did not mandate us to purchase that part.

I really love this! It is an awesome book

September 12, 2017

I really love this! It is an awesome book, with great exercises! Unfortunately I won't be able to keep it since I've just rented it. Hopefully I get time enough to go through all the chapters. :) Pretty heavy, don't think you will be able to keep it in your backpack because it will rip your body apart. Please have somewhere to study with it without the necessity of moving it too much.

precalculus text book

April 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

this book was not that good. the solutions for the examples were not really explained that well if at all, whereas other texts explain solutions step by step, so you can actually learn something. this book was unreasonably difficult for no reason, just because it isn't explained well and its unclear. some of the answers in the back of the book were literally incorrect. i could't believe it. that makes studying difficult if the answers in the back of the book are wrong.

Not Helpful, Skips Steps With Little Explanation

April 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

I agree with the prior review entitled "Worst SSM Manual Ever." I purchased this manual hoping for step-by-step explanations that would help me see where I went wrong. There is no step-by-step. Each problem is given only a few lines and there is no explanation how or why calculations differ in each step. I have not found this manual to be helpful at all.

as far as solution manuals go it's just ok

October 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Maybe I've had a bad streak of luck, our maybe the other reviewers are expecting too much, but I've only had one other solution manual and it wasn't any better than this one. It doesn't show every single step but it helps push you in the right direction. I use it every time iDo homework and it saves me alot of time when i get stuck, but you may still need to flip around in your text book if you are really confused.

Not very accurate...

March 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

I thought at first maybe I had the wrong edition or something, but no... fifth edition it is. Some chapters the answers don't match up with the questions in the book i.e. it will say #107 when it's really the answer to #95, #109 is #97 etc. Some of the chapter test answers are just the wrong problem (some have slight mistakes, like copied down wrong. Others are just a completely different problem). I really expect more than this. I'm going down to the bookstore tomorrow to see if it's just my copy (as none of the other reviewers here seemed to notice). Otherwise I'm contacting the publisher.

On the bright side, the problems which ARE correct have been tremendously helpful. Just as an answer guide should. The only reason it's earned two stars.

I should really give it one, because after all... this IS MATH and accuracy is of utmost importance!!!

Still failed math

May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Not enough examples for the different varieties of the same problem types. So sometimes in the homework they'd throw in a negative or an extra step that you'd have to know to finish the problem. They tried though so I'd feel bad giving them anything less than a 4.
