  • Meaningless Image

    I didnt take the class. Bought it for my friend. I guess it is used in my school under Liberal Arts or something. I am glad I dindt have to take this class as my friend told me it involves with lots of word problems which I am really bad at. This is 5th edition and the newest. The price is really high at bookstores however, ebay price is unbeatable. I bought this book close to 54 dollars. Not bad at all!!! Dont really understand why they put a COW on the cover page? Does that mean Cows are good in Math? hhahahah. lol

  • Very good book, worth keeping

    I really like the book. As I am a person who is not good in math, I found this to be easy to understand. There were a few math concepts that I didn't exactly grasp, but overall, it is a good book and I plan to keep it after I finish this class.

  • Thinking Mathematically by Robert Blitzer

    I had a hard time finding this book. I looked everywhere, but when I found it and bought it I was impressed because the book was still in excellent condition. It looked like brand new, which is important. The great thing about buying this book is that it arrived exactly at the time it said it would. It made things easier.

  • GREAT BOOK!!

    Book seems very student friendly. The CD's are very helpful. It has a very nice hardcovery on it. There is no highlighting on this book which is alwasys a plus with me.
