Which textbook for Math and/or Economics

<p>especially, “MATH0350 Honors Calculus” course, which textbook is it?</p>

<p>and also, “Principles of Economics” class, which textbook?</p>

<p>cuz buying it in my hometown seems much cheaper.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>For "Principles of Economics", the textbooks is of the same name (i.e. "Principles of Economics"). I dunno about the author but you can find info on courses (including the books used) from <a href="http://mocha.cs.brown.edu/mocha/main.jsp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mocha.cs.brown.edu/mocha/main.jsp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>MATH 0350 is Vector Calculus by Marsden and Tromba. I would recommend self-studying Apostol Calculus I and II along with it though since Marsden's example problems are very easy and the practice problems much harder by comparison and thus you are left a bit unguided on how to solve problems. It's a GREAT joy to read the book though and really gives you an appreciation for mathematics. Again you can verify this at <a href="http://mocha.cs.brown.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mocha.cs.brown.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The econ book is by Gregory Mankiw. The way the course is run, you will need to sign up for Aplia, a website on which you do your homework, and the textbook is free online, so if you don't mind reading off your computer, you don't need to buy it at all.</p>
