<p>So I wanted to find the textbook for Math 31B on amazon, and so I looked up the ISBN using the "view page info" method on the ucla store website, but that ISBN did not come up on Amazon.com.</p>
<p>I know it's "Single Variable Calculus" by Rogawski, but amazon search yields multiple versions, so I have no clue which one is the right book...anybody know?</p>
<p>Thanks :]</p>
<p>I was wondering about this as well.</p>
<p>Yeah I was wondering this too.... There was a Single Variable Calculus Volume 1 and 2. Does that mean we have to purchase both?</p>
<p>Bump! Won't anyone halps?</p>
<p>Sweet Jesus, avoid the Rogawski book. He is the exception. Can't you choose a different 31B professor? Everyone uses the Stewart's book and you'd need it for 32A too. (Boelter?)</p>
<p>If you must buy the Rogawski book, why not just shoot him an email? <a href="http://www.directory.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.directory.ucla.edu</a></p>
<p>The Rogawski book goes for even when you're taking Jenkins.</p>
<p>Yeah, I have Jenkins, but still no clue which one to buy, there's a volume 1 and volume 2 and so many versions it...</p>
<p>help?</p>
<p>umm, i use the same book but i take 31A,</p>
<p>i just got the 888page one...off of ebay (half.com more precisely)</p>
<p>Did you buy this one?</p>
<p>umm, not exactly, everything is the same except for pages...mine was 888 pages...and i ended paying 67 bucks for it...UUGGGHHH</p>
<p>which one is it?!!!</p>
<p>on uclastore.com, it says that it's a paperback....uhhhhh
anybody who's taken 31B please help, im trying to get the book earlier :T</p>
<p>Here is what I think is going on.</p>

I'm not sure if this is the case. UCLA hardly sells the paperback if the hardcover book is available. $$$. Either case,
purchasing online is the better economical choice. If the Volume 1 book is cut short of what you are required, purchase Volume II. You will most liekly need that for 32B.</p>
<p>For a safe bet, buy this book. <a href="http://product.half.ebay.com/Calculus_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ48412910%5B/url%5D">http://product.half.ebay.com/Calculus_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ48412910</a>
No guarantees it is the exact book you need, but I am 80% confident.</p>

My hypothesis is that Rogawski's Calculus book works like Stewart's book. There is Calculus, Single Variable, and Multivariable. The first is obviously the combination of the latter two (1000+ pages).</p>
<p>Therefore, my conclusion is that Volume 1 contains single variable chapters and Volume 2 contains multivariable chapters. Verify this (I haven't had time to) by checking the approximating the summation of page numbers.</p>
<p>Anyways, Rogawski is teaching 32A and 32B in the Winter (and 32B in the Spring), so it is practical to startg using his book for future single variable calculus classes.</p>
<p>The same idea followed from Giancoli's textbook, so I think my theory is logical.</p>
<p>oh, dude, jsut lettin you know, the link you gave me is exactly the same as my book. i just got it yesterday. its 600 somethin pages w/o appendix, but if you add the appendixes, its 888 pages. so yeah, its the book</p>
<p>So, my best bet would be to get Boelter's suggestion?</p>
<p>wow boelter, thanks so much for putting in the time to answer my question, i really appreciate it</p>
<p>ok, i guess i'll go ahead and buy the "calculus" one and hopefully it will have both volume 1 and 2 (both single and multi variable) which will hopefully have me covered for both 31B and 32A in the future..</p>
<p>haterofhaters: which book are you talking about? the one in the link BH gave us? that one says its 1027 pages...</p>
<p>the link posted by MrSpam, my b</p>
<p>Mr Spam, ichthuscypher:</p>
<p>The best case is to buy his entire book, since he wrote the book himself. It should be complete and cover multivariable calculus too. I don't have time to research about it today, but possibly on Satuday. Hold off on buying it for now unless you need it quick, or in the meantime, ask the professor yourself.</p>
<p>Oh, I got it on half.com already. Hope it's the right one...</p>
<p>Not sure how much help this info would be by now but I thought I throw it out there. Boisvert sent a few emails regarding the textbook. After some initial confusion, he posted an Addall link searching for a book with the ISBN 0716749904. Something to note though is that this is a hardcover edition.</p>
<p>Is there any way for us to contact the bookstore to ask for ISBNs?</p>
