<p>is it required if i have enderle as my professor?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>The reader is written by Toupadapkis. I haven’t had him, but I understand he instructs his students to buy it. Other profs just refer you to it if you want extra.</p>
<p>I had Enderle and he recommended the reader as a supplement. I read that instead of the textbook. It has a pretty nicely condensed version of the material–the textbook is a bit bloated, kind of a chore to read. The reader also has some practice problems in it. They’re not particularly good practice for Enderle’s midterms because Toupadakis’s question style is very different, but it’s good exposure for the final exam, which is a joint effort of all the 2A profs.</p>
