When students truly understand the mathematical concepts, it's magic. Students who use this text are motivated to learn mathematics. They become more confident and are better able to appreciate the beauty and excitement of the mathematical world. That's why the  new Ninth Edition  of Musser, Burger, and Peterson's best-selling textbook focuses on one primary helping students develop a true understanding of central concepts using solid mathematical content in an accessible and appealing format. The components in this complete learning program—from the textbook, to the eManipulative activities, to the online problem-solving tools and the resource-rich website—work in harmony to help achieve this goal. This edition can also be accompanied with WileyPlus, an online teaching and learning environment that integrates the entire digital textbook with the most effective resources to fit every learning style.

I have the hard-cover version, but it wasn't available at goodreads or amazon. It is a good concept, the editing and proofreading are inadequate: errors from previous editions still exist in the newest (8th). Some of the chapters are much too difficult (assume more familiarity and comfort with mathematical thinking) for a person whose last actual mathematics class was 20 years ago...

This is the worst math book I've ever used. Even my last teacher is contemlating not using it ever again.
