Bad book
I have been forced to use this book twice with two different professors and I can honestly say the book is not an efficient learning utensil, especially for a basic math course that is required of students (at least at my University). As with all core and intro level courses, the book is expensive. It also tries too hard sound intelligent and in doing so trips over itself and becomes far too hard to understand. In my experience even professors have trouble teaching from it. I would advise professors and students alike to avoid using this book if at all possible.

great deal, great book
Using this book as required text for Math 123. Great book, strait forward, all of the class is based exactly off information in the book, very useful in my situation. My University was selling it for $200, I got it for about 1/3 of the price.
