<p>I’m in Engineering (So physics, Calc, and Chem, plus others) and the MOST I ever paid for books in a semester was about $350 (maybe about $450 a year). Buy used, and buy old editions unless you have to buy the newest one (for HW). A lot of professors won’t assign problems from the book, so it’s not worth it to buy new.</p>
