<p>I’m ordering my books from half.com rather than the bookstore. the bookstore describes 150a as having a “calc online package steward edition 5” i have the isbn for the book i need but what exactly is included in this package. can i not get my books for this class elsewhere because everything i need won’t be there? </p>
<p>so basically anyone who has taken calc150a…whats in this bundle?</p>
<p>as far as I know all the first year calc courses have the same required materials listed at the bookstore website. I don’t know what else is in the bundle but is this the isbn number you have?</p>
<p>0-534-39366-7</p>
<p>The bundle the bookstore refers to is the Stewart book and an access code to some online supplement program. Your instructor may or may not require the use of the code; you won’t know until the first day of class. If you don’t need the code, but buy the book from the bookstore and open the shrinkwrap, you will not be able to return the book, so you’ll have wasted your money.</p>
<p>Your best best is to buy the book online from somebody with a clear return policy. Take the book with you to class and see if your instructor will use the software program. Then see if you can get the code separately from the bookstore if you need. You might be able to do it and the combined price of the code and the used book online could still be less than the price of the bundle. </p>
<p>As a last resort, you can return the book online and buy the bundle from the bookstore.</p>
