"I like the chapters included and how they are organized for a typical 15-week course. The organization suits how I teach my course. Students find the text easy to read. Students like the additional features such as Data Mining and Business Context."
"The sidebars were interesting and applicable. The end of chapter questions, exercises, and problems provide good coverage of the material and sufficient variation. I also liked the sequencing of the chapters."
