This is NOT an access code for online homework! Do not buy if you are looking for that! What a waste of my time and money! I am now going to fail my class because of this mix up! Why does it say online access code if it isn’t that? This is a textbook! Nothing to do with online!!

This is the college text my daughter used in her algebra II class. I purchased a copy so I could help her with the class. I found it mostly well written and understandable.
