Review: This book was very hard for me to use for 2 major reasons: 1 The software being used by me was a Macintosh version and Mathsoft, the software manufacture, has made only Windows products for years, 2 The answers are not to be found in the book but only on an extra cost CD and, thus, as I was working alone, not in a formal class, identification of 'where' an error had come from was quite difficult. The first problem was foreseen and is 'The Macintosh Problem' ... that is for 80% of those things for which a computer is useful there is either no software or precious little. The second is a real shortcoming of the book. It is my humble opinion that 'its really a textbook' is no defense as the book is on the general market. I have given this book a mark of three stars based upon the lack of an answer sheet. Otherwise the book is well made although the print is a bit small for my less then 20/20 vision. In line with many texts the paper is thin [but strong] so that a spill of coffee on an early page is sure to greet you again and again ... Actually this is a nice book. Maybe I 'hoped to much' trying to apply it to the Mac but, hey, with clear step by step answers a person with 'normal intelligence' could have doped it out in jig time however as this entire series of books is rather 'a cheat sheet for profs' ...
