No problem being used as a finite math text.......2005-08-24
This book is not nearly as bad as the other reviews indicate. I teach a course in finite mathematics at the college level and I examined it for possible adoption as a textbook. While it is not the best text I have seen, so I will not be using it, the quality is just below that of the book I use. Therefore, I would have no trouble using this book in my class.
The coverage in college courses in finite mathematics is standard and this book adheres to those standards. Topics are introduced via worked examples; there are exercises at the ends of the sections and review questions at the end of the chapters. The writing is clear, and the explanations are thorough. Solutions to the odd numbered exercises and all of the review exercises are included. While I hesitate to strongly recommend this book as a text, there is no delay in saying that it is one of the better options available.
Finite Mathematics=Infinite Frustrations.......2005-06-17
I would give this thing -10 stars or more if it were an option from the pull-down menu. The text is little more than a workbook; it has little explanation to go along with the problems you will get assigned as homework. I attend a large university so compounding this problem is the level of math this text is for, freshmen. Freshman classes are taught by "lecturers", or graduate students who, while very knowledgeable of their field, have little or no teaching experience so prove to not be able to effectively fill in the numerous blanks this book leaves. Also, these size of these classes tend to be in the hundreds and with the lecturer himself/herself being a student as well, can not devote the time needed to teach this subject because of the strains their own course loads put on them. Also this book claims that it "aims to provide students with the quantitative skills needed for their chosen fields and to lay the foundation for more advanced courses in mathematics."(qtd. by Amazon from Book News, Inc.) My college uses this text for Business Mathematics but having worked before attending college I can not recall some of the examples in the book as being used in my office...ever. As an example the book uses the old "bag full of different colored marbles, probability of pulling out a given color" exercise. There is also the "5 people on a row of 8 seats in a movie theater different combinations" exercise. That might have been just the example the lecturer picked but I saw no real exercises in accounting and such. The book also assumes that there is no software or calculators in existence to figure out compund interest and such other things so one has to painfully struggle through word problems with one example that is supposed to fit the dozens of different problems given in the book. So, if you are a weak math student like me, prepare to ask lots of questions and go to office hours regularly to beg for help when this book has no explanations. All in all this book leaves you scratching your head unless you already know the math concepts in the book(in which case you should not be taking a class that uses this text). Anyone who has a choice of what text to get should avoid this one. Also, if you can take a course with a different text then by all means do so. I would flush this thing if it would fit in the toilet.
Worst mathematics text I have ever encountered........2003-10-25
This was the required text for my Finite Mathematics class. There is absolutely no detailed information. Students have virtually no tools to apply to problem solving. Apparently there is also no student workbook to demonstrate the steps that Tan failed to illustrate in this text. Slow painful torture is preferable to the struggle one faces when trying to make progress through this textbook.
Undoubtedly the worse math textbook I have ever seen.......2000-05-20
This was the text book that was used in a course I took in Finite Math. Do not waste your time or money on this book. It does not go into any depth whatsoever, many of the thereoms shown were just pulled out of the authors hat without any proof of any kind. I honestly, had a hard time staying awake as I would read it, since it is so dull. It places far too much emphasis on phony applications and almost known on good solid theory. I only wish I could give this book a negative rating.

Tan7 Calculus solution manual-red cover with Boy on it-for managerail life........2007-05-17
This book is excellent it helped me a LOt. I wold have failed if it was not for this life saving book. The answers where clear and concise. This book shows step by step how to work each problem!!
I only wish it had a calculator explaination for the problems.
Great Cacl text, but CD ROM not Mac compatible.......2007-01-08
We used this text book in an NYU continuing education program. The course was designed as a refresher course for potential MBA applicants. I was taking it because we truly use calculus in the analytics of our systems at work.
This is a great text book. The illustrations are terrific. The problem sets are very good as they truly use real-world problems and examples. The instruction is crisp, without excessive theoretical wanderings.
One of the best scientific and engineering texts I have used.
CON: The enclosed CD ROM does not work with the Mac OSX operating system, and although I contacted customer support, they did not have plans to make the software OSX compatible. :-(
Where are the last four chapters?.......2005-10-09
This solutions book only goes through chapter 8 and the actual text has 12 chapters. I found that the answers were explained fairly well but I was very disappointed that it was missing several chapters and was probably not worth the money.
THE PAPERBACK IS THE SOLUTIONS MANUAL.......2003-10-02
Unfortunately the paperback is not a a paperback edition of the textbook, but the student's solution manual.
Easy to read........2000-05-05
I thought the book explained each topic in an easy to follow manner. There are some challenging excercises at the end of each section. Some of the exercises stumped me, but I guess that's good if you're looking to be challenged. I bought the solutions manual which gives step by step solutions to the odd questions. The book doesn't cover every area of calculus, but I found it useful when I didn't understand what we covered in class.

HUGE Help.......2007-04-20
This book may have saved my sanity. I am completely math dumb! And to even think I can do calculus was just never a thought. So when I had to take the class to graduate I cried! I bought this book and poured everything I have into studying it over and over. I passed the class and never have to take calculus again!
Great cal. book.......2006-04-26
It is a great cal. book I have ever read. The explanations are very clear and the use of examples are great. This book is good for university students. Suggest to use!
College Calculus Courses.......2001-01-15
This book is all right as a college calculus textbook. I used it for two semesters and found it very helpful.

Could be better. Provides answers, but not much explanation.......2007-01-08
The textbook contains the answers for the odd problems. So does this book. So what does it offer that the textbook does not? Very little. Some additional explanation of how to solve the problem, but not much.
In the past, the student solutions manuals I've used had more information on how to solve the problems and discussed potential errors/mistakes.
This book needs more content to be truly valuable.
Great Purchase.......2006-03-04
