<p>Awesome, I sent them an email with several questions. One of my buddies sent one and they sent him ISBN info about all of his textbooks and stuff.</p>

<p>nice....</p>

<p>let us know of the correct math 31b textbook isbn if you get a chance :]</p>

<p>According to <a href="http://www.whfreeman.com/rogawski%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.whfreeman.com/rogawski&lt;/a>, I believe Boelter's book is the correct one, as between the single variable calculus and multi variable calculus books, there is a 2 chapter overlap. Single is from 1-12 and multi is from 11-18. The plain calculus book is 1-18 with the same chapters. </p>

<p>My book just arrived.</p>

<p>I do have a question though, what's the difference between Calculus and Calculus:Early Transcendentals?</p>

<p>not sure...im not even sure what 'early transcendentals' means</p>

<p>Okay, I looked through the table of contents of both books.</p>

<p>Calculus: Early Transcendentals does not have Calculus' chapter 7: Exponential functions. Just one chapter short of the plain one.</p>

<p>The Early Transcendentals version for Stewart's book is the same, except the chapters. (ET missing one chapter, I forgot which one).</p>

<p>ET was used before I believe. So I guess what CharlieChan said. You'll be fine with either.</p>

and multi is from 11-18.

I got a chance to look at the chapters and juxtapose both books' contents. The material covered is about the same.
There is the solutions manual for Ch. 1 and 2 on the website, if anyone is interested in that.</p>

<p>Okay, I e-mailed Rogawski about his book and here is his reply:</p>

<p>"I wrote just one book called "Calculus" with 18 chapters, that includes both single and multivariable calculus. Since students may not need the entire text (they may have already taken single variable calc, or perhaps they don't intend to take multivariable),the publisher created three versions:"Calculus" - all 18 chapters"Single Variable Calculus" - chapters 1 through 12 "Multivariable Calculus" - chapters 11 - 18 So if you're just taking 32A and/or 32B, all you needis "Multivariable Calculus".Or if you're just taking 31A and/or 31B, all you needis "Single Variable Calculus"."</p>

<p>okay, i guess since i'll be taking math 31b and 32a, i'll just go ahead and buy the "calculus" book with all 18 chapters then..</p>

<p>but that's assuming that i'll also be using rogawski book for math 32a...anybody know if most 32a classes use rogawski book or stewart book?</p>

<p>For this quarter, Rogawski's book is only used for his 32A class. The other classes are using Stewart's. I don't know how this book dilemma will be solved in later quarters; perhaps Rogawski's book will be the new multivariable book since it covers the same material from the 32A and 32B curriculum.</p>

<p>Alright, so I got an e-mail back from ASUCLA Textbooks.</p>

<p>Bad news...</p>

<p>Good morning...</p>

<p>1) We do not give out ISBNs over the phone or via email.
You can come into the textbook department, at your convenience, to
obtain any ISBNs you need.
3) We cannot tell you if other sources are selling the correct codemate
for your class.
4) We begin processing orders for Fall quarter on September 4th, per
the schedule we have posted on our website.
We will process orders in the order we received them.
You will receive an email from us when your order is processed.</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>ASUCLA Textbooks </p>

<p>My questions were:</p>

<ol>
<li>What are the ISBNs of these books? (ISBN-13s are ok if ISBN-10s
aren't available)</li>
<li>Is the "custom Ssm" available without the book, if
I were to acquire the book somewhere that is not the UCLA bookstore?</li>
<li>Do the Codemate Access & Mycodemate come with the Absolute C++ book
if it is purchased only at UCLA or will other sources work fine as well?</li>
<li>If I were to order my books online from the UCLA bookstore, when can
I expect to receive them?</li>
</ol>

<p>EDIT: Oh, and I asked questions about the math31b book, a comp sci 31 book, and a chem20a book.</p>

<p>Im also taking Math 31b with Jenkins for fall 07</p>

<p>i was taking calc 1 (in ucla terms, it would be math 31a) in cc. We used this book as some of you mentioned stewart</p>

<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-Stewart/dp/0534274099/ref=sr_11_1/102-3647757-5776137?ie=UTF8&qid=1188277788&sr=11-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-Stewart/dp/0534274099/ref=sr_11_1/102-3647757-5776137?ie=UTF8&qid=1188277788&sr=11-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It is the Calculus: Early Transcendentals 5th edition. Will this be good for Jenkins?</p>

<p>

Math 31B covers chapters 7, 8, 9, and 11 of Rogawski's Single Variable Calculus book.
The bookstore should have the correct book. There are different versions containing the
same material, but the paperback that the bookstore carries is the cheapest.</p>

<p>Check if the book has the right chapters.</p>

<p>Edit: Wait a minute, that book's Stewart's. Sorry, misread. I don't know ****, then.</p>

No it is not. All 31A and 31B students are required to purchase Rogawski's book. 32A and 32B students will continue to use Stewart's book for now, unless they are in Rogawski's 32A class.</p>

<p>If not for this revision, older students would be reaping the profits by selling their 5e books, and I would have seriously invested in copies of Stewart's books. :cool:</p>

<p>So, if I buy the entire Rogawski Calculus book, I'll only be able to use it if I take Rogawski's 32a class, but not any of the others, right? Are there any other classes that would use Rogawski's book and is it worth it to pay literally like $6 more for the full one, or will I never use it again?</p>

<p>on myucla, isnt there a link for textbooks for the classes you are taking? because i cant find it...</p>

<p>Alright... so I bought my textbooks from the bookstore ($410 after tax and shipping fee... x_X)... The list can be found at the student store textbook section on the website.</p>

<p>Is the calculus the early transcendental version or the regular one?</p>

<p>The regular one with all the chapters; can anyone answer my question before I decide to buy my book?</p>
