<p>So those of you who have taken Phys 7A, Chem 4A, and Math 1B...</p>
<p>would you be willing to sell these to me:</p>
<p>-University Chemistry, Siska 2006 edition (w/ Iclicker)
-Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals UC custom edition
-Physics 7A Pkg (w/ Wkbk & MasteringPhysics) from Giancoli</p>
<p>willing to pay 60-80% of new book price for used books. negotiable.</p>
<p>check comegetused.com</p>
<p>For Physics 7A, you get a textbook, lab workbook, and a 1-year subscription to Mastering Physics (the online homework). You probably should buy that at Ned’s or the Cal bookstore.</p>
<p>You can’t get those things separately? Also, what edition of the Giancoli textbook are they using this fall?</p>
<p>You can get it separately but it’s actually cheaper to buy the entire package. The only thing you have to buy at the bookstore is the lab workbook, and that is more than half the price of the package if you were to buy it individually.</p>
<p>Since they don’t assign problem sets out of the Giancoli textbook, you can use any edition you prefer. If you’re planning on taking 7B as well, I would suggest buying the actual textbook (not the Berkeley edition). It contains the material from 7A, 7B, and 7C all in one spiffy book.</p>
<p>Do you really need the workbook?</p>
<p>What is mastering physics?</p>
<p>The workbook contains everything your discussions will be based off of. Plus it contains your labs. Mastering Physics, as stated above, is your online homework.</p>
<p>Needless to say, it IS all optional; you don’t NEED to do participate in discussions, turn in your labs, and do your homework.</p>
<p>Jeez what’s with the attitude. I obviously didn’t know. So everybody just buys the package?</p>
<p>i heard that you can download a copy of the lab work book on DC+ or some berkeley p2p system. Is this true? That would save quite a bit…</p>
<p>@blueducky: I thought “lab workbook” would be clear enough that it was a workbook for labs. Also, post #3 showed that Mastering Physics is the online homework with parentheses, you know, the ( and ). There is no attitude, there’s only misunderstanding due to the lack of proper reading.</p>
<p>@turtlecloud: I found my entire Physics 7B workbook on bSpace. The professor from the previous semester forgot to remove the .pdf files. I have not heard anything about the entire lab workbook being scanned/uploaded onto DC++. I have, however, seen the Mastering Physics homework answers being posted to DC++.</p>
<p>yes, the workbook files are still on bspace…
and you can find the workbook on DC++. I got it off DC++ last semester and still have the files.</p>
<p>oh, sorry, I was talking about 7B. I don’t think DC++ has the files for 7A. :(</p>
<p>Castel, I meant the quote about “you don’t NEED to do participate in discussions, turn in your labs, and do your homework.” That had attitude, but yea, whatev.</p>
<p>So this guy is selling his Phys7A textbook for $25. Should I buy it? Or will it still be cheaper to get the $100 package from the bookstore?</p>
<p>masteringphysics has an online version of the textbook, so technically, you don’t really need a hard copy of it.</p>
<p>I still have a chem lab notebook with about 90 (out of 100) remaining pages, which is plenty for several semesters. I’ll mail this to anyone who needs it for $5.</p>
<p>Is the physics text book required? They came out with a new edition of the book so will I be able to get by with an old edition???</p>
<p>@turtlecloud: yes you can, unless your professor ditches mastering physics completely and takes problem sets from the textbook (which i highly doubt because mp has had an infamous tradition for physic students).</p>
<p>What about math 53? i got an older version of the Berkeley custom edition. Will that work for the class?</p>
<p>I also have an older version of the math 53 book. I compared it with another version, and the text seems exactly the same, EXCEPT…the problems have been scrambled up. So #3 in one book may be #19 in another version. Those publishers are jerks. But that doesn’t mean you should buy the new version; just make sure you’re doing the right problems.</p>
