 Survey of mathematics with applications (8th edition) September 2, 2008
they did not specify the book i was buying was a teacher's edition.
How do you expect one to learn college level math with a book that has all the answers??!
it was in great condition, but because it was a teacher's book, i ended up spending $137.00 on a student copy at the college book store.
be more specific on what you are selling to others next time.
thanks for saving me money! (sarcasm)
 Great Service December 30, 2007
I needed this book for a math class I was taking. I was so pleased to be able to find such a good used book and to get it in a short period of time. It was shipped and I received it in less than 5 days from order date. The book was in great condition,almost like new. I was very impressed and pleased with my experience on this order.

I received the book fairly quickly. The book was a little rough around the edges (advertised as good) and it is. The back outside spine was ripped and for that they could have drop the price a little more, but considering the price in the university book store was $118 (new), and $85 (used) - I could live with it. I believe that this is a fair assessment of the site. I would order a book from them again.

I just completed a class where this textbook was used, and found it to be a particularly poorly written text. I feel that because of this I did not do as well in the class as I had hoped. I am a Liberal Studies major and took this class to satisfy my mathematical requirement. I found the explanations and instructions to be confusing and incomplete. As this book appears to be aimed at individuals such as myself, I would think that simple and clear writing would be paramount for the authors. This proves to not be the case. Instructors, steer clear please.
