Algebra and Trigonometry

I purchased this book new from Amazon because my daughter was told she needed a "new" book by her instructor so they could use the access code for the online Pearson labs. Upon receiving the book and attempting to activate the code on the Pearson site (the code inside the cover appeared new, and had to be scratched off), she was told the code was invalid. Thankfully she was able to reach a customer service representative who was able to generate her a new code, otherwise she would have had to pay a few hundred dollars more again for another code.Considering the outrageous cost of these textbooks, this is unacceptable.

I ordered this book in September of 2012 for my integrated math class. I was struggling within a few weeks because my teacher simply didn't teach. She would provide a few examples and leave you wondering how you got to that answer. I bought my book and voila! My grade went back up to an A. I have never had a textbook for teaches you and explains things as well as this one does. The hints in the book are awesome and you can always use them. I've since then taken a pre-cal class and bought his book for that too, once again AWESOME. Most textbooks leave you wondering how they got to the solution while Rob Blitzer will actually teach you. You can be left feeling confident that you actually know what you're doing. There is also a test at the end of each chapter along with a CD that comes with him showing you how to do the problems. I bought my copy used, but it was like new. This guy writes the best textbooks in the world. I love his books so much that I in fact will save them for my own future children to use. If you even need a supplemental textbook, get this. You literally cannot get anything better.

I returned this the day after the class ended and they did not check it in for a month and charge a late fee. it is a ripe off since I have the shipping receipt

This is one of the best textbooks I have ever read. It is written with remarkable clarity and packed with interesting real-world examples that will give you a new appreciation for how algebra can be used to model the world around you.

Best way to get college text books

Great book

It is not advertised as having an access code, so people should be reviewing the quality of the text. If you buy the access code, you will get e-book access for one year.

Brand new BOOK! Where is the on-line access code located??????
