<p>HELLO
I decided not to go for the bookstore for textbooks this semester.. totally got ripped off last semester
anyways, now I'm confused because the ISBN's provided for Math 125 and SPAN 220 are different from the ones available at amazon and half.com
do any of you guys know what the correct books are?
for MATH 125-ESSENTIAL CALCULUS (BUNDLE WITH ACCESS CODE & STUDENT GUIDE)
I can find it, but I don't know for sure if it has the code and guide (are they even necessary?)
and then for SPAN 220- MOSAICOS VOL 3 (5TH WITH BLACKBOARD ACCESS CODE)
but i have no idea if any of them come with an "access code" specifically</p>

<p>Would anyone having taken 125 recommend getting solution guide? ( I did take Calc B/C junior year, but scraped by a B and 4 on AP test)</p>

<p>sighhh the holidays went by wayyyy too fast.. time really flies when you're having fun.. totally forgot about textbooks thank goodness bio and chem keep the same next books (i'm a bio major btw)</p>

<p>FYI i'm posting on an account my friend created back in high school.. soooo yea explains previous posts..</p>

<p>ANY HELP/ADVICE/SUGGESTIONS would be greatttly appreciated
THANKS Everyone and Hope everyone's having a great break and looking forward to 2010!</p>

<p>I took MATH 226 and we used the same book. You don’t need the access code as far as I know so the normal book should be fine.</p>

<p>The correct book is this one: [Amazon.com:</a> Essential Calculus (9780495014423): James Stewart: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Calculus-James-Stewart/dp/0495014427]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Calculus-James-Stewart/dp/0495014427)</p>

<p>I suggest using [BookFinder.com:</a> Search for New & Used Books, Textbooks, Out-of-Print and Rare Books](<a href=“http://www.bookfinder.com%5DBookFinder.com:”>http://www.bookfinder.com) and search by isbn number. The only thing is to watch out where the book is being sent from cause some come from asia.</p>

<p>is it too late to reserve textbooks on the bookstore website?</p>

<p>yeah I took MATH 125 last year, and we didn’t need the access code or guide. Especially since you took Calc BC, you shouldn’t have a problem with the class, so I don’t think you’ll need a solution guide.</p>

<p>I also took SPAN 220. You for sure will need an access code for this one. Personally, I bought mine from the bookstore because I was afraid used books wouldn’t have access codes. However, I have heard that it’s possible to buy the access code separately. You should email your professor and see if he or she knows if it is possible to get an access code separately.</p>
