There are multiple options for your course materials in MA 123, and the differences among them are subtle, especially if you are not familiar with an online homework system. Please

Textbook: Briggs, Cochran, Gillett, and Schulz: Calculus (Early Transcendentals, third edition), Pearson, 2019.

Online homework system: MyLabMath

(You can access MA 123 on MyLabMath at NO COST for 14 days without a passcode. After that, you will need a code. Therefore, a MyLabMath passcode is required eventually for all students.) Access to our course on MyLabMath includes the use of the textbook in digital form as long as you can access the internet.

There are multiple ways that you can obtain a passcode. One way includes a paper copy of the textbook:

• MyLabMath passcodes are available from the MyLabMath web site and Barnes & Noble at BU. Twenty-four month access to MyLabMath is $108.74 at the MyLabMath web site and $102.49 at Barnes & Noble (ISBN 9780134856926). A passcode that is valid for a single semester is available at the MyLabMath web site for $74.99.

• There is a bundled version of the textbook along with a passcode for the online homework system (ISBN 9780134996714). The bundle is available at Barnes & Noble at BU. It includes a softcover version of the textbook and a 24-month MyLabMath passcode. This bundle is available for $124.99.

Note that there is no reason to purchase both items that are available at Barnes & Noble.
