<p>I've heard that honors math classes at Michigan are extremely hard. 215 seems to be the only choice besides honors. I don't have a instructor listed...hopefully I'll have Debacker like you guys said. </p>

<p>The multi-variable clac book (ISBN 0534393578) is expensive. The cheapest used one is $70 on half.com...what would be a good price for this book? The calc book I'm using right now for clacII was $18 shipped.</p>

22

<p>My Calc teacher last year got us all copies of the Multi-Variable book on eBay for about $2 each...4th edition, though, I think (too lazy to look).</p>

<p>OK I found the multi-variable calc book for 215 for $58 somewhere else but it's an international version. How hard is it to sell an international version book to a bookstore or online? </p>

<p>Also, anyone know the ISBN for Engr 101 book written by Holloway? Interestingly, his class is the one with a book listed.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info, chinaismine! Are you gonna be in Holloway's class too? :)</p>

<p>You know a lot of books come with CD's? Do I absolutely need to have the CD's? I've heard that they're useless and most people don't even use them. Is that true?</p>

<p>For CalcIII? ISBN 0534393578? How much was it? I found an international version one for under $30. Don't know how hard it'd be to sell it back though.</p>

34

<p>i bought an international version. i'm not to worried about resale.</p>

35

<p>international version is usually only printed in black & white?</p>

<p>Okay, I feel stupid. Is there a place to find out book lists for courses besides umichigan.bkstore.com/ ? All I can find on that site is abbreviated course titles with no ISBNs. And they don't even have all the sections listed yet. I'm in ENGR 100 sec 800 and the site only goes up to 700. I also checked the North Campus section of the site which had even less section listings.</p>

<p>Call a bookstore and ask for the ISBNs if you need them.</p>
