Customer Review:
The book was fine but it stunk of cigarette smoke or something of the sort. Every time I open the book it smells bad and I hate it. I am only taking this course for the semester but when the course is done the book is going to recycling. Ew | 4.5 / 5.0

I was unfortunate enough to have this math book selected by my college for my math course. It was very unclear in its examples of how problems were figured out, and in its instructions.
