When I purchased this book I was a bit unsure whether it was going to be the same as the newer edition that they have released. Upon receipt I was immediately blown away by the detailed outline of each chapter and the easy step by step learning process no matter what the chapters context was about. So far I have seen no difference between this and the new edition (Perhaps they fixed some misspellings and added a few words here and there) but overall it appears to be exactly the same. Well worth the money and it will certainly help you improve and hone your math skills. I recommend to everyone.
I decided to buy it for my college course. I chose to buy it used and have the same quality from it. Used book do often have scratches and worn edges, but contain the same contex inside. Don't judge this book by the cover. Buy it used for cheaper rates. You're only going to use it a semester anyway right? The book will help you with the algebra level of college math. It teaches it's self well...Try it!
If you take a college course that uses this book, get the students solutions manual as well, so you can see how the problems are done, if you have a problem with them. It came with my auction, and I am very thankful it did, looking back ! Good Luck !
I am satisified with the condition of the book. When I purchased the book I thought I was getting the student addition, however I got the teacher's addition. This is fine for being able to practice math and see the problems on the even numbers, but it is sometimes difficult to not see the answers first. Overall I am pleased with the math book.
This book is required for my Algebra class. It is easy to read and understand. The companion solutions book is very helpful in understanding how the problem was worked out. Margaret Hager
