Get it by Tuesday, April 22 if you order in the next 49 hours and choose one-day shipping.

Eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping. Anyone know how Amazon decides on such things? Is there some algorithm they use that every now and then pops out a discount on one of their listings? Are they partial to mathematics students and just want to offer cheaper books for them? [Not likely, my Marcel-Dekker book is listed at about the same price as a Mouton Rothschild.]

[TBB] - fat and not so fat!
