Announcement (Wed, 21 May 2008): About the textbook
We will be using the WileyPlus textbook companion, which is an online suite of integrated teaching and learning resources for this course. Textbooks purchased as “New” come with a FREE WileyPlus registration code for the semester (but be sure to verify this at the time of purchase). Once you have your registration code, go to our WileyPlus page
here and click the purple "Register" button.
If you purchase a used textbook, you will need to obtain the WileyPlus registration code separately ($51.95). Alternatively, you can avoid buying a hardcopy altogether, because your WileyPlus account comes with access to the full digital text online.
To obtain a separate registration code, first click here to go to the publisher's website. In the drop-down menu, just select "Texas" for State and click "Search". Next, select "TEXAS A & M UNIV COLL STA" in the drop-down menu for "School" and click "Continue". From this point, click the green button that says "Checkout Now" to register and enter your shipping/billing information.
