Essentials Of College Algebra with Modeling and Visualization (3rd Edition) (Rockswald Series)

I bought this book for my math class but when I got to class I discovered that it was the wrong one. The one my class was using was College Algebra with Modeling and Visualization (3rd Edition)(Rockswald Series, an Orange and Blue book. So I thought I was going to have to buy another math book, well this book(green & blue) and the book that was required by the class (Orange & Blue) have the same material inside, same math problems and everything. The only difference is that in this book (green & blue)the subject matter ends after chapter 6, where as in the one used in class it ends after I believe chapter 8. I was able to keep this book because it was basically the same as the other and in my class we were stopping after chapter 6, so it worked out perfectly.
