Calculus I, Early Transcendentals, Single Variable by William Briggs and Lyle Cochran (1st Edition), bundled with MyMathLabPlus code, i>clicker rebate coupon and Just In Time refresher text.


Graphing calculators (TI 82, 83, 85 or 86 recommended).

You can buy the bundled version of Early Transcendentals, Single Variable by Briggs and Cochran at the UConn Coop or online directly from the publilsher. The unbundled version can be obtained many places but the cost of buying the unbundled text and needed components separately may be significantly greater. CAUTION: Make sure you get a MyMathLabPlus code bundled with the text otherwise the code will have to be purchased separately. Do not confuse MyMathLabPlus with another online system sold by the same publisher (called MyMathLab) The single variable volume is used for both Math 1131 and Math 1132. You will need to purchase the multivariable volume for Math 2110. However, you are able to purchase a combined version (heavy book for 1131-1132-2110)

IMPORTANT:
The publisher has set up a special web page, UConn students to purchase a text online with the MyMathlab plus codes bundled.
