<p>Hi I ordered books a couple weeks back and went back today to check and make sure none of the textbooks changed and sure enough one did. I'm taking Math 32a with Weinstein and when I ordered these two books were listed:</p>

<p>--Stewart (New Low Price)
Calculus (5th) W/ Cd Ilrn Hmwrk & V-mentor
--Stewart
Sg Multivariable Calculus (5th)</p>

<p>Well now today there is an additional "required" book entitled </p>

<p>-Stewart (New Low Price)
Calculus (5th) W/cd/ilrn/single & Multivariable So</p>

<p>Do I need this as well? And also does anyone know if a book is needed for intro to civil engineering 1,no book is listed.
thanks</p>

<p>It's the same thing. The new listing is a package that includes both the textbook (w/ CD, etc.) and the study guides (single and multivar sg is seperate) -- usually at a lower price than seperately purchased.</p>

<p>oh ok cool thanks. can anyone else verify this? i'm just wondering because next to
-Stewart (New Low Price)
Calculus (5th) W/cd/ilrn/single & Multivariable So</p>

<p>and</p>

<p>--Stewart (New Low Price)
Calculus (5th) W/ Cd Ilrn Hmwrk & V-mentor</p>

<p>it says required
thanks again</p>

<p>Same book. According to your first post, the former doesn't include the study guide for single variable calculus.</p>

<p>The latter option is fine for your purposes unless you are tight on money.</p>

<p>ok thanks again, what would people do without this forums? haha</p>

<p>so it looks like i don't need to buy anything else</p>

<p>what would people do without hibiscuspink's sarcasm? haha</p>

<p>Gee, I dunno... Call hibipink and ask? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>C'mon, Emmeline. I'm teaching this man here to fish.</p>

9

<p>Yes, very good hibipink. I expect good things from you in the future.</p>

10

<p>yea thats weird... for me (who hasnt ordered anything yet) both are showing up... i was like what... have to get both...?</p>

<p>but hm... im still not sure which one i should get then... both packages are the same price, but the first one comes with "V-mentor" and the 2nd one comes with single var thing... which one do u guys think?</p>

11

<p>I would get the second option. The v-mentor and ilearn are not used by 99.5% of students and is not required.</p>

12

<p>thanks!! =]</p>

13

<p>Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, I have been trying to find the list of books required on my study list.. however I can't find it. I really need to buy the books early ahead before things get more hectic when the quarter starts. Where do they list the books required for the classes? Thanks.</p>

<p>am i at a disadvantage by having the first option?</p>

16

<p>...well, at least you don't have to lug around the bust of Cicero in your backpack. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Click on the link that Charisma provided. If the books are not listed there, that means that the books has not been officially decided. You are not alone; there are the people enrolled in the class who don't have books yet.</p>

<p>IF you are still worried, post your classes here and someone can give you an idea of what books are to be purchased.</p>

Not at all, you just don't get the single variable version of the solutions manual. I have that ready to jettison. You can buy the first option and buy the single variable solutions manual from me if you wish. :cool:</p>
