Information on textbooks for all Undergraduate Mathematics
courses at the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses of Rutgers is
collected here. This information is cumulative since the Fall 2000
semester. The primary source for this page is the orders submitted by
the department to bookstores. Individual course pages may have more
information. Most course numbers are links to the course pages and are
followed by brackets containing the codes F for Fall Semester
courses, S for Spring Semester courses,
U for sUmmer Semester courses, or any combination of these.
Changes in textbook for the current semester are indicated at the end
of the item (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 or Borders; or from
sites like
Aaapricesearch,
A1Books,
BookByte,
BookFinder4U,
BooksPrice.com
(this one allows comparison of several books in a single search),
BuyUsedTextbooks,
Campus Books,
CampusI,
Chambal,
Cheap-Textbooks,
CheapestTextbooks,
Chegg,
CollegeSwapShop
or Direct Textbook
that collect information from many
stores. The site iChapters offers individual
chapters in electronic format from college textbooks, as well as
discounts on textbooks in both electronic and print format.
On January 1, 2007, the 10 digit ISBN was replaced by the expanded
ISBN-13. Those numbers are used to this page unless they are
unavailable.
Information about availablity of textbooks at local stores can be
found at the sites of those stores:
The Rutgers Bookstore has no individual site, but is part of Barnes &
Noble
New Jersey Books
Both store sites have a link to select individual courses for more
information.

available only at Rutgers bookstores, and has been competitively
priced at the SAME PRICE as the used version of the book, and includes
a FREE solutions manual and study guide as well - a great deal for
students." In addition, a graphing calculator is used in this

publisher with free shipping. A graphing
calculator (such as the TI-83) is also expected in this course.
The required textbook may be supplemented by an optional
Student's solution manual (ISBN: 1-42925500-5).
Also, students are expected to have a graphing calculator.
