A CDROM and a web site are supplied with the text. The CDROM runs in your web browser. Load and begin at START.HTM and then Table of Contents. You can link directly from the CDROM to the text web site.

All of the quiz questions as well as the material shown during class may be found on the course web site. Most of that material is also available in printed form as a study guide. Should you buy the textbook?

If you learn best from complete written explanations, buy the book. If you normally keep your textbooks for later reference even in courses that are not your major, buy the book. If you will be taking this course mostly online and will not normally be attending classes, buy the book. If none of these things are true, then do not buy the book.
