It is $103.95 through Pearson at http://www.mypearsonstore.com/bookstore/mylab-math-online-course-for-a-…. If you make the purchase elsewhere, do NOT buy used since the access codes cannot be reused and are not transferable. This access code, in addition to an e-text, will be used for our online homework assignments and give you access to e-manipulatives and an array of videos. I will email to give you directions about how to register your access code so that it is integrated with our Canvas course. If you are going to want a physical copy of the text and not just the e-text that the MyLab Math access will give you, please email me (sutherm@geneseo.edu) and I'll explain how you can purchase a loose-leaf copy of the text (called an a la Carte Edition).

| Instructor : | M. Sutherland (sutherm@geneseo.edu) | |
| Title : | WebAssign Instant Access for Stewart's Calculus, Multi-Term, 8th Edition (*Required) | |
| Author : | Stewart | |
| Edition : | 8 | |
| ISBN : | 978-1-337-77143-6 | |

| Software/Calculator: | TI-Nspire CAS CX or TI-Nspire CAS (make sure it says CAS) or TI-89 Titanium | |
| Notes : | I prefer the TI-Nspire CAS CX over the TI-89 Titanium. It has more capabilities and if you are purchasing new it is roughly the same price and comes with software for use on your computer. Make sure the TI-Nspire says CAS CX on it. If it just says TI-Nspire CX, it will not work for the course since it will not have the computer algebra system (CAS). The TI-89 also has a built in computer algebra system. Your TI-83/84 does NOT have CAS abilities. If you have questions, email me. | |
