This book was required reading and use in my Engineering Management class, and it is based on Excel 2013, where we have Excel 365.

Nothing works the same. The examples do not follow the software anymore, and the book's use for understanding the material is reduced by 50% because you cannot work alongside the examples on your computer.

This might be a good book if it matched the software they have for the edition.
I am not impressed that I spent this much on a book and the solver and do not work together.
