Reddit reviews Calculus: Concepts and Contexts (Available 2010 Titles Enhanced Web Assign)

This is what Americans use. It costs about as much as a used smart phone and it's way less powerful.

This is my calc text. With tax it comes to over $300.

Americans are dumb as fuck because we can't afford to learn =***(

The E101 "handbook" is made by NC State, so yeah, that's only going to be on the bookstore. That thing was useless though, and I'm pretty sure I just threw it away.

For EC 201, you might have been told to buy a custom book. I did and my friends who took it also did. When the teacher makes a "custom" book, you have to buy it through the bookstore. You also can just buy the standard version, but the organization of chapters may be different (and often, some chapters are taken out of from the standard version). But then again, since the professor usually removes stuff, it may actually end up cheaper to buy the custom one.

As for your Calc 3 book, is this the one who were told to buy: http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Concepts-Contexts-Stewarts-Series/dp/0495557420/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376233469&sr=8-1&keywords=stewart+calculus+concepts+and+contexts. That's the one I used last year. Not sure why you couldn't find that.

But for future reference, don't buy your books before classes. I did freshmen year and it was a mistake. If you are reasonably smart, you will never open your EC 201 textbook. I only used my Calc 3 book a couple of times as well. I did great in both classes and could have done so without the books easily.

Looking at some books on amazon.ca, and the paperback and loose leaf versions are more expensive by a considerable amount.

Hey, sorry, just saw this. Yeah that's exactly what it is.

My professor uses a different one of Stewart's books instead of Early Transcendentals like UT Calc. I only co-enrolled because I knew I don't wanna do anything Calc heavy as my major, but I've tried some of my roommate's problems and been able to do them (with a bit more effort). If I were to change my major and take Calc 3 at UT I'd probably refresh my Pre-Cal with a CE credit over the summer before

We did the same. http://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Concepts-Contexts-Stewarts/dp/0495557420
