I used this book for one semester in college when I was required to take 2 math classes to graduate. It had been 5 years since I had last taken a math class, so I started out at a beginners level course using this book. I never understood math until I used this book. It is extremley easy to follow, and explains everything step by step. It also goes over many different subjects so you get a tase of everything, without the overwhelming feeling of being lost. I managed to get a 'B' in that class, and don't think I would have achieved it without this book. The solutions manual was key because there was no waiting around to see if I had solved a problem correctly. A+++ on this book!

I enjoyed this book, especially since I had a non-fluent English speaking professor we all looked into our books and read the complete, easy, and understanding chapters. this is one of the best math books I have ever had in my education experience.

I just purchased this book brand new a few months ago. The only problem is very heavy and bulky to carry around. I appreciate Blitzer's no nonsense writing and by the way no highlighting necessary. All the key points are highlighted and pointed out. He also includes in-text exercises as well. I figure the book was worth my money but at least I understand what is printed. I also appreciate the mention of real-life applications indicated in the exercises and the sectional readings. I am not only reading the sections but appreciating all the bonus essays and definition boxes.
