Customer Reviews

Exactly what I ordered

I have no complaints. I received my order in a timely manner and in good condition. I would consider future purchases.

Great value! Fast shipping!

My daughter need this book for a summer math class. It was much cheaper than the bookstore and the seller shipped it right away to ensure that she received it by her first day of class. Highly recommend this seller!

Helped me in a tough course

I don't like math, and never will, but this book helped me get through a tough course. The explanations were pretty clear and easy to understand. I won't say that about most math books I've had. I did pretty well on most of my tests and got a decent grade. I think it was the practice problems that helped me the most.

Good general perspective on freshmen math topics

This book is a great guide for freshmen taking a liberal arts math course. There are many examples of applications and lots of practice problems.

Great Book

This book has helped me out a lot. I learned a lot with this book. I'm glad my teacher taught with it.
