<p>im going to be taking math 16a this fall. what's the difference between the custom edition and the regular edition? i just bought the regular edition, but i realized that theres a cal custom edition. do i HAVE to switch to the custom edition?</p>
<p>I'm assuming the diff between custom and regular is same as for math 1a. The custom versions contain only the chapters/materials required for the course. If your teachers don't use it, it's not in there. They lack a lot of extras, so they are cheaper. You do not have to get the custom edition. In fact, if you want a good reference book to keep, the regular edition might be a better choice.</p>
<p>also does anyone know what a mathlab is? i didn't get that with my regular edition.</p>
