I ordered this textbook off of Amazon because it was cheaper than at my college bookstore. However, when I recieved it, I found that it was the Instructor’s Edition. When I attempted to contact the seller, Lotus Books, to return it in exchange for the correct edition, my e-mail was ignored. I will never do business with Lotus Books ever again.

This was a great transaction. The text book was received before the latest date and was in good condition.

I needed this book for one of my college classes and the Amazon price was almost 3/4 cheaper then in the schools book store. This book was only used for about 3-4 months and from what I saw from the textbook… it was great. I learned a lot and I might keep it around just in case I need it for a future math class. But overall, I give it an A…

Caution: If you’re trying to save a few bucks & purchase this textbook through Amazon & not through your school… beware. My “fourth edition” new from Amazon is NOT exactly the same as my classmates’ NOR as my teacher’s!! It’s like I have a rough-draft edition which looks VERY final draft, until we start discussing homework questions.
I’m disappointed.
