Title: Decent but severely overpriced
Review: I used this book for a 300 level undergraduate probability course. I'm glad it's over now!Pros:1) The book is set up in a straightforward way, running from counting techniques to probability and then statistics.2) The examples were pretty helpful.Cons:1)PRICE!!!!!!!! Every college student knows that textbooks are overpriced these days. The companies seem to justify this by adding links to related web content, putting color photos/graphics on every page, etc. This book has none of this! It's all black and white! All the graphs look like they were done on an Apple II! Hey, I like pictures as much as the next guy, but but a 6 year old edition of 600 black text pages is not worth $100!!!!!!2)No solution manual--for some of the more complicated problems, you need the solution manual, not just a numerical answer at the back of the book.Verdict:If you have to buy this, but it used! Stand up to textbook price-gouging!
