At that time he accepted a position with Penn State University, and he currently holds the rank of professor of mathematics at the university. Larson is the lead author of more than two dozen mathematics textbooks that range from 6th grade through calculus levels. Many of his texts, such as the 10th Edition of his calculus text, are leaders in their markets. Larson is also one of the pioneers in the use of multimedia and the Internet to enhance the learning of mathematics. He has authored multimedia programs, extending from the elementary school through calculus levels. Larson is a member of several professional groups and is a frequent speaker at national and regional mathematics meetings.Many thanks to Betsy Farber for her significant contributions to previous editions of the text. Sadly, Betsy passed away in 2013. She received her Bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Penn State University and her Master’s degree in mathematics from the College of New Jersey. Betsy taught all levels of mathematics at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania for many years. She made many notable contributions throughout her career to developing new ways to make statistics relevant and interesting for both online and traditional students.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book itself is reasonably easy to understand and follow, but it does jump around as one reviewer mentioned, and there are some glaring typos. 3 weeks into an online Stats course taught 100% from the textbook, I have not found myself needing to reach out for extra help.Keep in mind, the full-price “new” non-rental hardcover edition is ONLY the bare book and supplemental CD with some additional course material and data sets. It does NOT come with a Pearson Access Code for MyStatLab, XLSTAT for Pearson, or any other product. The CD also seems to require a specific older version of Quicktime for Windows to install; you will be met with an error trying to install without Quicktime, and also if you install the most recent release. I gave up and am digging through files in the disk’s directories instead.This book might have gotten another star if I had not found Pearson customer support to be so bad; beyond useless, I would have been happier if they had not had a support number listed. For a textbook that retails for $225 before expensive software add-ons, SOME level of helpful support should be a requirement. I spent the better part of 3 days back and forth with them both over the phone and e-mail, attempting to get information about an Access Code for XLSTAT Pearson edition, a product their Excel instructions that accompany the text claim is available to anyone that purchases this edition of the book. Not a single support rep out of the 6 I dealt with was able to offer one ounce of help; every one of them zeroed in on random keywords in my questions and pasted the boilerplate support response without reading further. My final online interaction was closed out as “solved” without even replying to me. By the end, I was basically pleading with them to explain HOW TO SEND THEM MORE MONEY, and the closest I got was a referral to XLSTAT (Addinsoft) sales, who very kindly explained that Pearson is the only source for the Pearson-edition licenses. It’s a shame Pearson customer support doesn’t know that…

⭐My statistics class is using the 7th edition of this book and the MyStatLab. I rented the 6th edition so I could have an actual hard copy of the book to look at rather than use the e-text that comes with the required MyStatLab (I purchased that by itself). I find it much easier to study from a book than stare at a computer screen for hours on end trying to scroll through page after page.This book is pretty much a spot on match to the 7th edition in terms of chapter layout, concepts, and vocab. Some of the practice problems, quizzes, and tests have some slightly different questions from the 7th, but that’s ok. I can always access the e-text and get more practice in if I think I need it. I’ve been able to take good notes and review with the problems. The online homework I turn in each week has some of the same questions from the 6th edition, so this is working out really well.The rental price is def worth it! It saved me some money on a new book and now I have a book that I can take anywhere. I’m not limited to an e-text that requires Internet access. The book I received is in really good condition with only a few underlines and stars in the margins.Thank you Amazon. Taking classes and paying for books costs a small fortune. This rental option is really helpful!

⭐Not a fan of math but this gets the job done it’s literally a math textbook what else is there to say

⭐First, I want to thank the seller for sending me the most pristine copy of a used college level textbook that I have ever received. I only needed the textbook and not the access code, so when it came with the access code already used, that was expected. It also had a brand new unused supplemental CD included, which was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. The textbook itself is beautiful with vibrant colors, color photos and color blocking of subtitles within the chapters. The problem is that I found this textbook is more of a workbook than a textbook. There appear to be very few solved problems with descriptions on how to get the answers. There are TONS of examples to solve on your own, which is fine if you have a great teacher and understand what you’re doing. I found myself being more informed through Google searches than this textbook. When I really needed straight answers to certain examples in my HW assignments, I RARELY found them in this textbook. Since this is not the most current edition, I hope the newest version has more explanations and more solved problems with step by step directions. That is truly missing in this Statistics textbook.

⭐I dreaded the class I needed the book so much, but it has done its job and I am about done with the class. Thanks for having rentals!!

⭐realmente valio la pena comprar este lbro acaI had to buy this for a class. It is very sturdy and can handle a lot off travel. It was formatted well and I could follow along.

⭐Nothing to say really just a basic textbook required for class so I went today glad I rented it from Amazon because it was quick and easy to get especially with the book stores being closed due to corona.

⭐Great Book. I’m a Stats Nerd and often use this for reference. It is a very good reference book.

⭐Doesnt include the same exercises…. Buy the hardcover if you need them.
