PHY231: Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Kinetic Books. Go to http://www.kineticbooks.com/products/prod_purchinfo.html for more information on the product purchase options. Any of the "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" options will work for this course. This is the same text we will use in the spring, so no further purchase will be needed next semester.
Option 1): Purchase just the CD. This option is best if you own a laptop or know that you will study either on campus or at your personal computer.
Option 2): Purchase the CD with a printed text. This works best if you have a home computer, but would like to have hard copy to work from.
Option 3): Purchase a one-year online (web access) version of the textbook. This provides flexibility to use the text, but the license is good for only one year. In options 1) and 2) you own the product.
Option 4): Purchase a one-year online (web access) version and hard copy. Useful if you'd like to have hard copy to work from, as well.
