I ordered the express shipping because I needed the book a.s.a.p. I'm a student at Cal State Long Beach and the university bookstore always ran out and would take an eternity plus 10 years to restock. Also, the retail price for it was over 160 bucks plus tax. That's over 170 bucks together. I purchased this book for like...around 140 if i can recall? Anyway, it was shipped seal wrapped and in perfectly new condition. I was very satisfied.

I don't really feel like doing a detailed criticism, but I'm typically real good at math and I'm used to learning out of the book. This has to be the absolute worst I've ever encountered.

I hated this book. I didn't think it explained things well. I ended up dropping the course. I have gone through many algebra books and I am finding that many of them do not show examples very well and since I am a very visual learner, I need it to be broken down visually, I was very disappointed in the book.

I am a math major trying to find this book because I wasn't able to keep it after I took College Algebra. Yay! I've found it! This has to be the best-written text I've ever used ... over Trigonometry, Calculus 1,2,& 3 (using two different college's different texts), Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Probability and Statistics, and college Geometry. The writing is interesting, explanations are very clear, and practice exercises representative of what was taught. This is one of the few texts I could read before class and get a good idea of what was going on! Highly highly recommended, even if you just need a good reference book!

This book is the worst math book I ever had. I had to buy this for my class, but I barely take a look at it because the explanations are so messed up. They do things the long way and do thing more complicated, but the thing that bothers me the most is that their explanations can confuse you more than clarify things. This book has some bad editing because some of the answers in the back are wrong and they don't show the process of the problems. I only use this book for the homework assignments. I usually just jog down what the teachers says, which gives out better explanations which are shorter and clearer ways to do things.
