Calculus Book/Software Guidelines for Calculus courses

Calculus instructors have an option of using Achieve or Webworks for their Calculus sections.

Instructors using Achieve

Students are required to buy Achieve which comes with a homework system and an online book. Here are the available options to buy Achieve:

Achieve (1-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319411657)

Achieve (4-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319438333)

Loose-leaf + Achieve (1-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319411671)

Loose-leaf + Achieve (4-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319438357)

Student Options:

  • Students taking only one semester of Calculus are suggested to buy the 1- term access to Achieve.

& Students planning on taking more than one semester of Calculus are sug- gested to buy the 4-term access to Achieve, irrespective of whether students will enroll in Achieve sections or Webwork section in subsequent semesters.

Note:

  • Access to the online book expires after Achieve subscription expires. If stu- dents want to have a hard copy of the book, students can choose the “Loose- leaf” option above.

  • Students planning on taking more than one semester of Calculus and en- rolled in an Achieve section can use their online book if they enroll in a Calculus Webwork section in subsequent semesters.

  • Students who are taking more than one semester of Calculus, and who have bought a 1-term access to Achieve, will be able to upgrade their Achieve subscriptions to 4-term access by paying the difference. Please contact Alex Markle directly at alex.markle@macmillan.com.

Instructors using WeBWorK:

Since WeBWorK is free, students do not need to buy any homework system. However students are required to obtain the text book either through Achieve (as above) or a used book or rent a book.

ote: Students planning on taking more than one semester of Calculus and en- rolled in a Webwork section may be required to buy Achieve if they enroll in a Calculus Achieve section in subsequent semesters.

Note:

Students planning on taking more than one semester of Calculus and en- rolled in a Webwork section may be required to buy Achieve if they enroll in a Calculus Achieve section in subsequent semesters.
