Book/Access Code Information
We will cover material from the book;
Buying a hard copy of the book for this course is optional. You may prefer to use just an e-book, or an e-book and a used (old or new edition of the book). It is advisable to register for online homework (see below) to preview the e-book and attached media files before you make your decision on what to purchase.
When making your decision, you should take into consideration whether you will take Calculus II next semester. If so you should consider purchasing the EWA(online homework) access for multiple semesters, since we will use the same online homework system next semester.
In our class, we will use the online homework system Enhanced WebAssign (EWA). Instructions for registration for online homework are given in Homework/Registration Information. Under the instructions for registration, you will find your class key. You can register any time after Tuesday August 23. You will have a grace period to work on your homework and view the e-book ending on Sept. 05 2010. After that date, You will need to purchase an Enhanced WebAssign access code in order to continue taking homework.
Option for Purcahsing a Book/Access Code
There are several options available for purchasing a Book/Access Code. It is possible to purchase:
a new book and access code bundle (option 1 below)
a stand alone access code with the e-book (options 2 and 3 below)
Note that the stand alone access code can be complemented with a hard copy of the book. Since little other than the numbering of sections and homework has changed in recent editions of the book, an old edition will suffice.
Note: An access code can only be used by the same user throughout its lifetime. It cannot be purchased secondhand. See the Webassign Access code info page for refund policies.
