<p>just a quick question, the math 20A textbook listed on the ucsd website is <em>2 Calculus Early Transcendentals (text+questionnaire), 9781429212359, is that any different from calculus early transcendentals without the '</em>2' in the beginning. would just purchasing a copy off amazon with the same title be fine?</p>

2

<p>In my own hunt for cheap textbooks, I found that Amazon sells the same text but with no questionaire… </p>

<p>Can someone with experience in the math20 series tell if we really need the questionnaire or not?</p>

3

<p>similar question but for Math20B, I guess</p>

4

<p>So the same book is for Math 20A and 20B?
I need 2 Calculus Early Transcendentals for Math 20B.
Something is wrong.</p>

5

<p>Nope, it looks like we’re supposed to use the same book… at least this way saves us money…</p>

<p>The 2* means the number of items sold to you from the bookstore… it’s the questionnaire thingy that I would like to know more about…</p>

6

<p>I have the same question for Math 20C also. I couldn’t find the book with the 2 in the front anywhere!</p>

7

<p>I repeat the 2* means the number of items sold to you from the bookstore… it’s because of the questionnaire thingy that comes with the book when you buy it from the bookstore.</p>

8

<p>Yeah there’s like five items listed but only the 2* item is required. I am just puzzled as to which one to buy…</p>

9

<p>is 9781429212359 the ISBN# cause i can’t find a match for it</p>

10

<p>I tried the ISBN methods but it seems like the ISBN’s are specific for UCSD bookstore’s bundles… as I couldn’t find any results with the provided ISBN’s via google… aside from sometimes UCSD’s own site result…</p>

11

<p>Yeah I’m guessing the bundles are only available in UCSD’s bookstore and nowhere else.</p>

12

<p>i called the bookstore. You can get either one. the one with the 2 on front is the hardcover.</p>

13

<p>I called the math department, and they said we can get either book. In fact, we don’t even need the questionnaire, so getting one from Amazon should be fine.</p>

14

<p>Oh cool, thanks for clearing things up!</p>

15

<p>oh that helps a lot! why would they put both books up then? ughh it makes it so much more confusing. but thankss!</p>

16

<p>so i show that both *2 Calculus Early Transcendentals and *3 Calculus Early Transcendentals are required texts for MATH 20B. however it is my understanding that only 1 of these is truly required and it is up to the student to determine which one to get. is that correct?</p>

<p>I emailed the Math Department. They sent me this link for book questions:</p>
