 Great Book December 12, 2001
16 out of 19 found this review helpful
I had one of the worst instructors on the planet this semester. I literally had to teach myself this entire course.
This book made it so much easier. Great diagrams, simple explanations. I ended up with an A.
Very good, everything intact as promised January 8, 2009
Queen Jean (Detroit, MI USA)
The book was in excellent condition and cd was not used. I am very satisified.
 Easy to follow September 17, 2000
This book is easy to follow and the included cd makes solving the problems easy. It also has online links for each chapter.
 Tiny font September 26, 2008

I guess they wanted to fit a lot of material into a small book so they made the font tiny. It looks like an 8pt font to me which makes it hard on the eyes after a long period of time.
The included software is quite helpful and I recommend having the software open as you read. Personally I found it helpful to use the QM software to do the problems in each chapter as I was reading.
None of the math in this book is much beyond algebra but there are a LOT of equations. Heaven help you if you have an instructor that expects you to memorize them all for exams.
Also, on mine, they put the cover on backwards. It isn't really a big deal but considering how much I paid for this book I think they should get the cover on correctly.
 A book for graduates--Not undergrads October 28, 2003

2 out of 11 found this review helpful
After the first week of our class falling behind, my professor mentioned to our class that this book was the wrong format for undergrads. So this book is only good as the teacher and the students. It's easy to read, but hard to understand. And, the CD-ROM was not user-friendly enough, but had an awesome integration into MS Excel. I aced all of my math classes in college (undergrad), but this class...I'm not gonna to ace. But if you aced all math classes and you're using this book for a grad class, then go for it. Otherwise, find another book.
