<p>I had a question about the materials required for that class.
so when I clicked around on the telebears site, apparently i can buy a linear alg package for 82 dollars. does that include the diff eq text book as well (b/c the class apparently uses 2 textbooks)?</p>

<p>and also, if i wanted to buy the books elsewhere, would that put me at a disadvantage since it seems like these books are custom berkeley edition?
what's teh diff between the "custom berk ed" and the other version?</p>

<p>Buy the custom package. It comes with the Linear Algebra book by Larson and a smaller Differential Equation book. The books are all custom editions.</p>

<p>custom edition = potions of the book are left out, so theoretically it’s cheaper to buy a new custom edition vs. a new full edition.</p>

<p>if they’re using the same editions of the book, buying them used off of comegetused.com or a friend would be the cheapest option. or a used full edition would probably work as well.</p>
