| This is NOT the complete book list for this class. |
| Instructor's comments about the book list: It is important for students to obtain the 3rd edition (the exercises in earlier editions differ from those in the 3rd). The book above is the paperback version. The eBook version has ISBN 9781108337458. Either version is fine; prices vary. We will use Velleman's book for the vast majority of the semester. Then during the last portion of the semester, we will use another (online) reference to discuss some topics that are not found in Velleman. |
