Need to purchase a copy? Be sure that you purchase the 3rd edition of the text, because it is brand new. Compare prices at:

 

  • Amazon.com
  • Barnes and Noble
  • Directly from the publisher
    Our experiences in previous years were that several students had some difficulty obtaining the book within a few days from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble despite what they tell you. Others had no trouble. The publisher is the surest way and has a competitive price. You can also order the Student Solutions Manual directly from the publisher. Make sure you obtain the 3rd edition of the Student Solutions Manual (2005 publication date.) You might also search around for a used book.
You may find the Student Solutions Manual to be useful, but it is not required. It has solutions to about 25% of the end of chapter problems. The Student Solutions Manual is available for purchase directly from the publisher.
