132. Textbook
Single Variable Calculus (Stony Brook Edition 4),
by
James Stewart.
This is the same book as Stewart's
Single Variable Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th ed,
but with a different cover.
Some info about various pricing options as I understand them.
Check for yourself - I may be wrong.
Note: I don't know of a reason that a MAT 132 student, who is planning on passing the class, would want a multisemester WebAssign. Given that, options (AAA) or (BBB) below seem the most economical. If you go for (BBB), i would strongly suggest that you buy some used older edition just so that you have a referance book in the future.
-
New printed text, with multi-semester webassign
$164.65 at the
campus bookstore,
$154.25 at
Stony Books
-
Used text, webassign separately:
-
Electronic text only:
Etext with webassign
from
Cengage
for $85.95 for multi-semester or $49.95 (BBB)(single-semester)
Note that those using this option can still get a used 3rd-edition text quite cheaply ($6 from amazon) or even free. This is adequate for most uses.
- If you have other suggestions, please post them for your classmates on the
Discussion boards:
Recitation 1-5.
Recitation 6-10.

when you are done.)
There are plenty of other options out there. You can even buy individual (electronic) chapters
here
(no WebAssign).
Shop around. Prices vary. Some books with WebAssign, and some require you to buy it seperately!
When deciding what to get, keep in mind that you are likely to use this as a referance book in the future.
Other editions of the book may have similar text, however the exercises are sometimes a little different and are numbered differently.
READ THE BOOK!!!!
We will be using WebAssign for most of the homework.
