I needed this textbook as a study guide for interpreting the course. It is close enough to the 4th edition to help me preview and it cost a lot less than the 4th edition. I am enjoying following along with the book and learning more about algebra.
If you like the Beginning Algebra, you will need this one. There is one confusing part; when you have both book. At first, you probably would think they are the same. Well, the first 1/3 part of the book. Yes they are repeating over again. The unit you have learned from Beginning Algebra, you will find in the Intermidiate. But, hang on. Do not close the book. It start teaching different unit after Unit 5. The both book taght different thing after Unit five. Lots people did not realize that. They simply just return the book.Because they thing it is the same version, different title. They are not. The fisrt 5 unit was trying to help review. I guess the authors just don't want to bothere figure out new question to help us review. They just simply move some from the previous level to this one. I still like it. It did help boost your math higher level. This book it go a little deeper than Beginning .
I purchased this particular edition online because it cost much less than what I would've paid at my schools bookstore. It also arrived in better condition than what i would've picked up too.
This is actually an excelent textbook.It offers concise examples of mathematical operations.My instructor highly approves.The problem examples,explanations,and the writing style all are straight forward.I would recomend this text to anyone studying intermediate algebra.My only problem was that it took a week to get to me.William Johnson,Nashville
The explainations in the book are okay, and the answers are provided on odd numbered problems to check your work. The book also provides many online interactive tools to help understand the exercises.
Very nice product. Condition was perfect and saved alot of money by buying this item from Ebay. Will definitely buy more books from this website. Had all the books that I needed and at very good prices.
I NEVER RECIEVED MY BOOK EITHER! I'm almost finished with my class and I never got the book. The stupid thing cost me more than the class did on top of it. I have never had this happen to me before on E-Bay, but what makes me angry is my seller was super nice saying things like "God bless!" and "Thank you!" when I was loosing my money. Sickening.
I dont know why everyone else has stated they never recieved theirs, I recieved mine quite promptly. Great book, looks as if it was still brand new. Thanks alot!
Well I decided to purchase this math book for class on ebay instead of paying $150 at school. Its beenover two months and I still haven't recieved the book. I had to purchase it at school anyway, and call the credit card company to get a refund. I will NEVER shop on EBAY again!!!!!!!!!!!
*If you know whats good for you DO NOT purchase anything from SISBOOKSHELF!!!!
I never received this item. Since my purchase, back in august, the seller has had their membership revoked. I am in the process of a buyer protection claim, but thus far no resolution is in sight. I doubt I will ever purchase anything from half.com again. Buyer Beware!!!
I never recieved it even though i payed for it. This was the first time that anything like this happened to me on ebay. i hope ebay will fix the problem! otherwise i really like ebay services and products!
