<p>I already got the “Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals”, is it that different from “Single Variable Calculus”??? I will take 31b in fall, thx</p>
<p>No offense, but let’s think this out… (and stop being the anal-retentive AP kids we are)</p>
<p>1st edition - means it is the first type, a second has changes
2nd printing - printed in a different batch order, but identical to 1st printing.</p>
<p>Also, the UCLA math site has the one that is ONLY SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS, not the "early transcendentals)</p>
<p>Early transcendentals is the big one that covers everything from 31a-32b content wise.</p>
<p>Single variable is a much smaller book (I have this one), and it covers just 31a/b. Then a second book is necessary for 32a/b that is the multivariable one (I also have this one).</p>
<p>The difference between the two is definitely noticeable. The chapters are off by about one and the problems are slightly different.</p>
