<p>thx for the links hibiscuspink, I saw that thread also but it was talking about 31b textbook and i wasn't sure I could assume the same for 31a thats why I wanted to make sure... for the oxtoby book, boelter posted what was included in the book package but given a pretty big price difference(well 50 dollars) I wanted to make sure those 2 are the same book... moldau, are you sure scerri's 20a class don't need textbook? because when I logged onto the bookstore page it said I needed the oxtoby chem book...</p>

I don't understand why bruinwalk's books sell for a lot less

<p>Well it's obvious, people don't need the money immediately and the books sit on the system.</p>
<p>They are probably of an older edition. The problem with Bruinwalk is that sellers don't check emails, where the notifications are sent. I suggest a mass offer sending in one sitting for a book of interest.</p>
<p>I think I decided to buy those 2 books off amazon since its significantly cheaper but since no one can tell me if I got the right books then I wonder what happens if I got the wrong book... do I need to buy the right ones? I think the instructions and material should be the same but like the excersizes and problems could be different as I learned from different versions of highschool textbooks...</p>
<p>Well, you can call UCLA Store to ask about the ISBN#'s. Hibipink posted something about this. Otherwise, you can email the professor to see which edition and if an older one would be OK. <a href="http://www.directory.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.directory.ucla.edu</a></p>
<p>yeah I got an email from the chem teacher so the chem book is set... i'll just have to check on the calculus book</p>
