<p>Which textbooks are used for following courses of the freshman year?:</p>
<p>ECON 010
MGMT 100 (if there is a textbook for this class...?)
MATH 104
Writing Requirement
STAT 101</p>
<p>ECON 010: It’s custom made for Penn, so you’ll have to buy it at the bookstore (Pearson Custom Publishing, it’s two books stuck together).
MGMT 100: Study.net bulk pack.
MATH 104: Stewart Calulus
Writing Requirement: It’s written by the Penn Critical Writing People, so you can only buy it here (Penn Book Center–ridiculously expensive). Though I’ve been told the book will undergo massive changed by next year.
STAT 101- ???</p>
<p>This is all from my Wharton roommate, besides the Writing stuff. Get ready to spend money</p>
<p>DO NOT BUY ANYTHING! There are kids on campus selling those books for below Amazon prices. I bought a $200+ (new) $130 (used) book for $40.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Do you know which version of stewart calculus will be used??</p>
<p>probably the 6th edition. I’m holding onto my calc book with the intention of selling at $100 (like-new; no markups or anything). Amazon’s price ([Amazon.com:</a> Calculus (Stewart’s Calculus Series) (9780495011606): James Stewart: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Stewarts-James-Stewart/dp/0495011606/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264543962&sr=8-3]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Stewarts-James-Stewart/dp/0495011606/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264543962&sr=8-3)) FROM $105. And you can see the book I’m selling -you can’t check the condition of an online book.</p>
<p>Hm. I might actually be interested in buying that book. THnks!</p>
<p>Does anyone else know the textbook for Stats 101 & 102??</p>
<p>Hold on, don’t buy anything as you don’t know if they will change edition. Of course, the sellers will try to tell you they will use the same textbook, but you don’t know because you don’t even know who is going to teach the class at this time.</p>
<p>^^ that is true. Never buy anything before the edition is certain. I’m just saying I have this item available.</p>
<p>If you are smart enough to get into Penn, you can manage with an older edition. I use all old edition books and the sellers (students) will deeply discount it (20-30 bucks) because the demand is extremely low and supply is high. You can usually get the newest edition as a reference from the Penn library in the rare case that the prof assigns problems from the textbook and collects it for a grade. In all other cases, you just need some edition of the book. And there are plenty of ppl who buy the newest edition, so make friends with them and use it for hw.</p>
<p>sseriously though, I am dual degree (lots of books to buy) and I budget myself 150 bucks for all my textbooks. Sometimes you wont even need it, because the prof’s notes are so good. </p>
<p>My advice, talk to ppl who took the class before and ask them if they used the textbook.</p>
<p>^^ not always true. Used library book for Soviet Econ class but borrowed professor’s copy for final exam studying because the extra 3 years actually made a HUGE difference.</p>
<p>Obviously this is more the exception than the rule</p>
