Tan7 Calculus solution manual-red cover with Boy on it-for managerail life........2007-05-17
This book is excellent it helped me a LOt. I wold have failed if it was not for this life saving book. The answers where clear and concise. This book shows step by step how to work each problem!!
I only wish it had a calculator explaination for the problems.
Great Cacl text, but CD ROM not Mac compatible.......2007-01-08
We used this text book in an NYU continuing education program. The course was designed as a refresher course for potential MBA applicants. I was taking it because we truly use calculus in the analytics of our systems at work.
This is a great text book. The illustrations are terrific. The problem sets are very good as they truly use real-world problems and examples. The instruction is crisp, without excessive theoretical wanderings.
One of the best scientific and engineering texts I have used.
CON: The enclosed CD ROM does not work with the Mac OSX operating system, and although I contacted customer support, they did not have plans to make the software OSX compatible. :-(
Where are the last four chapters?.......2005-10-09
This solutions book only goes through chapter 8 and the actual text has 12 chapters. I found that the answers were explained fairly well but I was very disappointed that it was missing several chapters and was probably not worth the money.
THE PAPERBACK IS THE SOLUTIONS MANUAL.......2003-10-02
Unfortunately the paperback is not a a paperback edition of the textbook, but the student's solution manual.
Easy to read........2000-05-05
I thought the book explained each topic in an easy to follow manner. There are some challenging excercises at the end of each section. Some of the exercises stumped me, but I guess that's good if you're looking to be challenged. I bought the solutions manual which gives step by step solutions to the odd questions. The book doesn't cover every area of calculus, but I found it useful when I didn't understand what we covered in class.

HUGE Help.......2007-04-20
This book may have saved my sanity. I am completely math dumb! And to even think I can do calculus was just never a thought. So when I had to take the class to graduate I cried! I bought this book and poured everything I have into studying it over and over. I passed the class and never have to take calculus again!
Great cal. book.......2006-04-26
It is a great cal. book I have ever read. The explanations are very clear and the use of examples are great. This book is good for university students. Suggest to use!

Customer Reviews:
Could be better. Provides answers, but not much explanation.......2007-01-08
The textbook contains the answers for the odd problems. So does this book. So what does it offer that the textbook does not? Very little. Some additional explanation of how to solve the problem, but not much.
In the past, the student solutions manuals I've used had more information on how to solve the problems and discussed potential errors/mistakes.
This book needs more content to be truly valuable.
Great Purchase.......2006-03-04
Produce was PERFECT and I received it in three days! Great Service!

Book Description
Nineteen-year-old Frank Friedmaier lives in a country under occupation. Most people struggle to get by; Frank takes it easy in his mother's whorehouse, which caters to members of the occupying forces. But Frank is restless. He is a pimp, a thug, a petty thief, and, as
Dirty Snow opens, he has just killed his first man. Through the unrelenting darkness and cold of an endless winter, Frank will pursue abjection until at last there is nowhere to go.
Hans Koning has described
Dirty Snow as "one of the very few novels to come out of German-occupied France that gets it exactly right." In a study of the criminal mind that is comparable to Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me, Simenon maps a no man's land of the spirit in which human nature is driven to destruction—and redemption, perhaps, as well—by forces beyond its control.
Customer Reviews:
Despair is an expression of the total personality.......2006-10-25
doubt only of thought. Soren Kierkegaard
Frank Friedmaier, the protagonist of Georges Simenon's novel "Dirty Snow" seems to have no doubts about his life. In fact he seems to be more a creature of base animal instinct than of anything resembling thought. If he has doubts about anything they are not evident. But his words and deeds bespeak an unconscious despair so profound that the reader can feel it with every page.
Simenon was nothing if not prolific in both his literary and public life. Born in Belgium in 1903, Simenon turned out hundreds of novels. Simenon's obsession with writing caused him to break off an affair (he was prolific in this area of his life as well) with the celebrated Josephine Baker in Paris when he could only write twelve novels in the twelve month period in which they were involved. Although perhaps best known for his Inspector Maigret detective novels, Simenon also wrote over a hundred novels that he referred to as `romans durs' (literally "hard novels"). "Dirty Snow" is one of Simenon's hard novels and to call it noir is an understatement. "Dirty Snow" is darker than noir, devoid of any light or optimism. In the hands of Simenon it is an absorbing (entertaining seems an inapt word) look at the darker side of life.
Frank Friedmaier lives in his mother's brothel in a small apartment building. The brothel is in an unnamed city in occupied France during World War II. Frank divides his time between the brothel and a local bar inhabited by an assortment of shady characters that include low level criminals, women of `easy virtue', and the occasional German soldier. When he returns home at night he camps down with whichever one of his mother's employees suits his fancy. What follows may best be described as nasty, brutish, and short. There is no affection, not even feigned affection, just feral activity.
The book follows Frank's descent into increasingly lower levels of behavior. He decides the time has come to kill a man, lies in wait in some snow that had been dirtied by the day's activities, and then takes a knife to a German soldier and stabs him to death. He reveals his presence to a passing neighbor, the father of a young girl who Frank seems to like, just so that the neighbor will know that Frank has murdered the soldier. Frank is confident that the neighbor will keep the information to himself. Frank next plans a robbery. The robbery is successful but Frank soon finds himself in a German prison subject to repeated interrogations. By the end of the book Frank has completed a journey that has taken him on a journey through what Dante would have considered different layers of hel l.
The fascinating aspect of Dirty Snow for me lay in the narration. Simenon has pulled off a neat trick here. The narrator is Frank and we are privy to his innermost thoughts, such as they are. Yet it is the absence of thought and the inability to evince any feeling in a rational manner that grabs the reader. There are sections, particularly those involving the daughter of the neighbor who witnessed the killing, where you can almost sense that Frank would like to act on a normal level with normal emotions. He may come close but he always retreats. As Dirty Snow ends, in a courtyard in the prison, Simenon has Frank perform one simple act involving an article of clothing. It is an act that Frank has long observed of the other prisoners. His instinctive performance of that act brings Franks journey and the book to its inevitable end.
Dirty Snow is a fascinating, if dark, look at one small aspect of the human condition. I found it well worth reading. L. Fleisig
a well written book but .......2006-07-16
it is a noir book, simenon is a great writer , i just wish his main character was a little more believable,you almost wish that he would have had him declared insane.... to make it more believable.
"Can anything get much worse than this?".......2005-06-22
The above question is asked by this edition's Afterword about the protagonist's fate. Frank Friedlander is the son of a brothel keeper in an occupied country, and a self-declared 'piece of s***'. Unable to find satisfaction in abusing his mother's whores, knifing army officers or robbing old ladies' heirlooms, the one thing he constantly craves is recognition. He's a piece of s***, so you'd better step around him. Flaunting the fruits of his crimes, it's only a matter of time before his enemies exact retribution.
The novel recalls the most brutal parts of Hammett's The Glass Key, Camus' L'Etranger and Koestler's Darkness at Noon. Part of me wonders whether that should be a recommendation.
Catching It Where The Chicken Catches The Axe.......2005-05-17
Georges Simenon's Dirty Snow (1948) is a grim, claustrophobic, if somewhat typical, examination of the human psyche by the Belgian master of the psychological novel. Taking place in an unnamed country existing under the occupation of an amoral foreign power, Dirty Snow depicts a fallen, sordid world which is equal parts Franz Kafka, Jean Rhys, and Jean Genet, though Simenon's protagonist, Frank Friedmaier, lacks the transcendent spiritual insight which elevated Genet's antiheroes above the common thief, corner boy, street thug, and murderer.
Dirty Snow is the story of a spoiled, narcissistic, and unfocused sociopath whose boredom with his own aimless existence leads him to casually manipulate, abuse, rob, or murder a number of innocent neighborhood citizens. Like the characters in Genet, Frank kills because he wants to, because the male cronies he admires boast that they have committed murders of their own, and because he wants to establish some definite marker in his history to justify his life to himself.
Oddly obsessed with Holst, his older male neighbor across the hall, Frank, who lives with his shrewish, brothel-keeping mother, seduces and then casts aside naïve young Sissy, Holst's daughter, for the sheer sport of it. But Frank's seduction of Sissy is also partially an act of unrealized homosexual sublimation, as absolutely nothing Frank does arouses Holst's attention. Though Holst all but witnesses Frank committing his first murder, and could reasonably assume that Frank is the person who has violated his daughter's body, health, and spirit during his absence, Holst remains utterly passive.
Dirty Snow is one of Simenon's more critically respected novels, but while the first two-thirds are gripping and suspenseful, the last third, in which Frank is arrested and incarcerated by the occupying administration, is dull, undramatic, and far too long. In The Miracle of the Rose (1951), Genet brought his solitary prisoners to vibrant, shadow-casting life; but Frank's incarceration plods on uneventfully for over 60 pages, and Frank completely lacks the rich inner fabric of Genet's "saints," dreaming social misfits, transvestites, and randy, strutting alpha males. It is difficult to fathom why Simenon chose to conclude the novel as he does, since the anticlimactic ending deflates a book which had the potential to become a minor classic.
"He wanted it. He had been afraid of it, but he wanted it.".......2005-03-26
Eighteen-year-old Frank Friedermaier lives in an occupied, wartime city. But he lives in relative luxury with his mother, who operates a clandestine brothel from their top-floor apartment, while the neighbours suffer through the winter with tiny lumps of coal and watery soups. Since he was a child - when he was temporarily shipped off to rural foster parents - Frank has wrestled with the problem of powerlessness in the face of destiny. Confronted with fate, one might either deny it or embrace it. But Frank chooses to taunt it by running huge risks and daring the world to snap back at him. In this way he makes himself feel powerful. The occupied city gives him every opportunity for such a game, letting him follow abjection wherever it leads: murder, petty theft, procuring young girls for his mother's business, and subjecting the one girl who loves him to a quite depraved betrayal. It can only be a matter of time before destiny bites back... Simenon's project here seems to be the exploration of a particular type of personality. He has been praised for getting the sense of occupied France "just right", but it could just as easily be American-occupied Germany, or any situation in which an individual feels oppressed by social convention. The story is a simple one, but the real interest here is Frank's character. The more we observe him, the more we see that there is something driving him other than the apparent urge for annihilation. In the final pages, we see that his violent immoral quest has been, ironically, as much about striving for connection as self-destruction: he is reaching out for a father in Holst, a lover in Sissy and, in "the woman at the window", a vision of domestic bliss.
