Spring 2019 Textbook and
On-line Homework System

If you are unsure if MA124 is the right course for you, you should WAIT UNTIL YOUR FIRST LECTURE before you purchase anything.

Textbook: Briggs, Cochran, and Gillett: Calculus (Early Transcendentals, 2nd edition), Pearson, 2015.

On-line homework system: MyMathLab (You can access this course on MyMathLab at NO COST for 14 days without a passcode. After that, you will need a code. Therefore, a MyMathLab passcode is required eventually for all students.) If you already have a MyMathLab account from last semester, you can use that account this semester as well. Your MyMathLab passcode gives you access to the ebook for MA124. Note: Various internet retailers sell codes, but some buyers complain that the codes are invalid or have already been used.

There are two options available to you:

  1. An on-line version of the textbook comes with MyMathLab, but you must be connected to the internet to use it. If you feel that you do not need a paper textbook, then all you need is a MyMathLab account.
  2. We have negotiated a discounted price for a bundled version of the textbook along with a passcode for the on-line homework system. The bundle is available at the BU Bookstore. It includes a soft cover version of the textbook that is bundled with the MyMathLab passcode (ISBN 9781269986274). This bundle is available for $118.65. Do not purchase a used textbook unless you can get a good deal on a MyMathLab passcode separately.
