This was a useful resource. Some of the problems had me stumped and this book was a valuable time saver. It gives you a clue as to what you doing wrong. If used correctly its like having a tutor. Very good value. The problems we did matched up with the newer edition. Just different numbers. I got it pretty quick too.

Since the problems in the main book are composed in pairs and this manual answers to one of the pair with abundance of details, it is a safe approach to solve all the problems in the book. Ideally you must understand the basics of the chapter you're on, well if not; this magic bullet will be another pain in the neck and a waist of your money and time. If you want to help yourself to solve and understand all the homework then get this book, consider that normally the main book is used in two courses so this one won't be an only once used book.

Although I am not the one taking the class. The student who is is pleased with the text.

This solutions manual really helps with the practice problems which there are not all the answers to in the textbook. It gives you detailed answers so you understand how to do each problem!
