 Used for an online course November 30, 2008
I was required to purchase this book for an online course. Really needed an instructor to ask questions about some of the more difficult problems in the back.
great examples October 20, 2008
the examples were good but there were only 1 answer for every four questions which ended up not helping alot.
mediocre September 29, 2008
The problem with the book is that its not very organized and is not quite as detailed and you'd hope. when giving out exercises, it doesnt mention whether to solve it through radians or degrees which really irritates you when the solution does not match the answer then you realize it's right but has to be converted. it also only has solutions for odd numbers of the exercises given. it would have been nice to print out a few more pages for all of the final answers of the exercises (wouldn't be that hard since the author doesn't have to show the solution, just the final answers). as for explanations and topics covered, its fine though.
 Odd Man Out Here September 7, 2008
I hate to be the lone dissenting opinion here, but I found this book (9th edition, and I also owned the 8th edition too) to be very difficult to understand. If you are a beginner in algebra then I suggest you look for something else. However, I can't speak for the calculus part of the book, because I haven't got that far yet. For algebra beginners, may I suggest... Mathematics for the Trades 7th Edition (or later) [Paperback] by Carman, Robert. I managed a 4.0 GPA with this book.
 Great book, woth the money. July 8, 2008
This book is helpful. We are given the answers as well a short explanation for the answers given. GREAT INVESTMENT! This book gives every other odd answer which occasionally doesn't cover the topic effectively. I would want each odd answer to make the book optimal.
