Given the difficulty of finding a clean 8th edition PDF, many students ask: Can I use the 7th edition?
Yes, with caveats. The 7th edition (2014) covers 90% of the same core concepts. However, the 8th edition fixes several known errata:
If your professor assigns homework by problem number, you must have the 8th edition. If your course only uses lecture slides, the 7th edition may suffice.
