Customer Reviews

EXCEPTIONAL FOR THE GOOD STUDENT, BAD STUDENT WEED-OUT

This book is exceptionally well written. Professional, mathematically rigorous. It is excellent for the smart student who has enough logic to appreciate a great book AND OPEN IT AND LEARN FROM IT. INTERNATIONAL LEVEL. WOULD BE WELCOME IN JAPAN, CHINA, EUROPE OR RUSSIA. A WORK OF ART AND SCIENCE. The previous ratings speak volumes about the mathematical abilities, maturity, willingness to read and learn -- and preparation of our US college students. Students who never opened the book for more than a few seconds .... then closed it :-)

College book

Book was in great shape and shipped fast. Very please with price and the entire transaction.

Great Seller and Fast Shipment

This company provided great savings and fast shipment compared to buying it at the school bookstore. This company is A+++++++. I can't say the product was good, it's just required for class. :-)

No problem being used as a finite math text

This book is not nearly as bad as the other reviews indicate. I teach a course in finite mathematics at the college level and I examined it for possible adoption as a textbook. While it is not the best text I have seen, so I will not be using it, the quality is just below that of the book I use. Therefore, I would have no trouble using this book in my class. The coverage in college courses in finite mathematics is standard and this book adheres to those standards. Topics are introduced via worked examples; there are exercises at the ends of the sections and review questions at the end of the chapters. The writing is clear, and the explanations are thorough. Solutions to the odd numbered exercises and all of the review exercises are included. While I hesitate to strongly recommend this book as a text, there is no delay in saying that it is one of the better options available.
