Textbook list
Information on textbooks for all Undergraduate Mathematics courses
at the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses of Rutgers are collected
here. This information is cumulative since the Fall 2000
semester. Course numbers are followed by brackets containing the
codes F for Fall Semester courses, S for Spring Semester
courses, or both. Changes in textbook are indicated at the end of the
item, with the date of the change (including upgrades to new
editions). When available, a link to a suitable page on the
publisher's web site has been included. Information about particular
books can be found in a few steps from this link. In a few cases, there is a
fixed page devoted to the particular text which is indicated by a link
marked (text). The title, author or ISBN number can also
be used to find information from on-line bookstores such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, or The Mathematics
Online Bookshelf (MOB) (in
alphabetic order).
There are also pages from the Fall
2000 and Spring 2001 semesters.
