That's way bigger than my guesstimate.\r\n\r\nThe amazon prices I checked out pinned the collection closer to $400, which granted is still really, really impressive.\r\n\r\nIn case you're curious [this was my textbook](https://smile.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552). It's come down by a lot in price over a couple years. Brand new it was $365 in the shrink wrap from my school's store! \r\n\r\nEh, either way I'm wrong, just by a different amount.","subreddit_name":"furry_irl","author":"SoggyCheez"},{"body":"I see, makes sense.  \r\n\r\nAnd apologies: I said Taylor, I meant Stewart.  \r\n\r\nSo my recommendation would be to start with pretty much any edition of Stewart, like for instance https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552/ref=sr_1_4?crid=27TLBWSQDEBRF\u0026amp;keywords=stewart+calculus\u0026amp;qid=1666117266\u0026amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjAyIiwicXNhIjoiMi45NyIsInFzcCI6IjIuOTYifQ%3D%3D\u0026amp;sprefix=stewart+calculus%2Caps%2C69\u0026amp;sr=8-4\r\n\r\nThe later editions just exist to be more expensive but don't really offer any additional value.  \r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nOnce you've mastered everything in that up to Taylor series, I would maybe switch to a book on Linear Algebra.  There are many good ones, and you might just \"try out\" the books by Strang, Lay, Friedberg, ... if you're really ballsy you can attempt Axler's.  Axler's is not recommended as a first book, but you might get something out of the attempt at least.  \r\n\r\nAnyway, it's hard to imagine you'll even get to the Linear Algebra book before class starts.  But if somehow you manage to get through Calculus and Linear Algebra, a very profitable thing to do is look into logic and discrete math.  (This would cover, for instance, combinatorics among other things.)  A good book for that is by Rosen.","subreddit_name":"mathematics","author":"AddemF"},{"body":"https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=james+stewart+calculus+8th+edition\u0026amp;qid=1661608473\u0026amp;sr=8-4 \r\nthis is book essentially, I’ve tutored this for years know and I’m actually surprised you need to know the techniques since the application is more in depth, good luck!","subreddit_name":"csMajors","author":"Objective_Weekend_21"},{"body":"oh, got it. thx for clarifying. could I also just buy it off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Stewart%27s+Calculus%3A+Early+Transcendental%27s+book+%288th+edition%29\u0026amp;qid=1553993600\u0026amp;s=gateway\u0026amp;sr=8-1","subreddit_name":"Purdue","author":"howardv11"},{"body":"Buy the Holy Bible [James Stewart Calculus: Early Transcendentals](https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552).

Most of my classes were in the sub 30's, except a few of the more prominent general education courses like Chem or the like. The instructors were open to you using their non-instructor copy during office hours. Most of my classes (CS degree by the way) didn't require a book, or I jsut didn't buy it, except math and a few others that used the online materials. I would only buy the book when I 100% needed it. I think the most expensive book I bought was my Calc book, but it did cover all 3 of my calc courses and was a wealth of knowledge i still keep on my bookshelf.

Algebra doesn't just go away; it's used, a lot, in Calculus.\r\n\r\nWith that said, Calculus 1 and 2 for Environmental Science majors is probably fairly simple, I wouldn't call it 'advanced' math by any stretch. Stats was harder for me than Calculus, and I took advanced Calculus and standard Stats :/\r\n\r\nI would suggest trying to learn some simpler concepts in Calculus like differentiation (and differentiability) of a function of one real variable, continuity and perhaps integration.\r\n\r\nI would suggest some books, but the Calc 1/2/3 I took are a few levels above those for Science students. Although I guess [Stewart](http://www.amazon.ca/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552/ref=dp_ob_image_bk) could work. It's the standard text for Calculus 1/2 at my school (University of Waterloo) for the level right above the one for science students, but I think they might use it too.","subreddit_name":"math","author":"[deleted]"},{"body":"The texts by [Stewart](https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Early-Transcendentals-James-Stewart/dp/1285741552/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ZQ1WFP21NIHR\u0026amp;dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=stewart+calculus\u0026amp;qid=1608400993\u0026amp;sprefix=stewart+calculus%2Caps%2C228\u0026amp;sr=8-1) and [Larson](https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Ron-Larson/dp/1337275344/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=larson+calculus\u0026amp;qid=1608401008\u0026amp;sr=8-1) are the two most common introductions to calculus, and both are fantastic.

Then for CHEM 119 They use [1st edition of General Chemistry: Atoms First by Young, Vining, Day, and Botch](https://www.amazon.com/General-Chemistry-Atoms-First-Young/dp/1337612294/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=General+Chemistry%3A+Atoms+First\u0026amp;qid=1619077122\u0026amp;s=books\u0026amp;sr=1-2). Then for 120 they use [Chemistry: Atoms First, Burdge, J. and Overby, J. (4 th Ed. McGraw-Hill, 2020)](https://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Atoms-Burdge-Overby-International/dp/1260571343/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=Chemistry%3A+Atoms+First\u0026amp;qid=1619077241\u0026amp;s=books\u0026amp;sr=1-3). You don't need to worry about the textbook for CHEM 117. CHEM 117 is just a lab class to be taken in tandem with CHEM 107 and the textbook is just a lab manual you buy in the basement bookstore portion of the MSC.\r\n\r\nAvoid purchasing most physical textbooks for classes, most classes I've taken here I hardly use the textbook at all if ever. Search for textbooks on Library Genesis (while using a VPN) and you can find most textbooks if not the edition right before the one you need in PDF form. Search for the name of the textbook initially then click the name of one of the authors on the right to see everything they have associated with them on libgen. Once you click on the specific book you want click the title of it at the top of the page then click one of the four or so links at the top of the page to download.\r\n\r\nTo get ahead in math as a whole I recommend [Professor Leonard on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHhuummRZaIVX7bD4t2czg) for video lectures and [Paul's Online Math Notes](https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/). I used both of those links all the way up to differential equations and I still use them if I forgot how to do some process in one of my classes. To get ahead in your sciences Khan Academy and MIT OpenCourseWare are good resources. I can't think of specific resources to help teach Python aside from Codecademy and random YouTube videos. If you can do mathematical operations on lists and console inputs it will be helpful along with while/for loops, Numpy, and MatPlotLib. I also like to keep these reference tri-folds made by [Quick Study](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=quick+study+guides+laminated\u0026amp;crid=2WSKT2ZXHA1V4\u0026amp;sprefix=quick+stud%2Celectronics%2C176\u0026amp;ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_10) in my backpack. They make a bunch for the math's, science's, programming, and other things.\r\n\r\nIt is also worth noting you'll need to bring your own laptop for the python class as well as others, so ensure you have one. It also wouldn't hurt to buy the calculator chemistry classes let you use the [TI-36X Pro](https://www.amazon.com/Texas-Instruments-Engineering-Scientific-Calculator/dp/B004NBZB2Y/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=ti-36x\u0026amp;qid=1619078813\u0026amp;s=books\u0026amp;sr=1-1). Outside of your chemistry and pure math classes get yourself a quality calculator like a [TI NSPIRE CX CAS](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RL7HM5V/ref=twister_B0934JCXHJ?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;th=1) or an [HP Prime](https://www.amazon.com/2AP18AA-ABA-Prime-Graphing-Calculator/dp/B07HF6RXGG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=hp+prime\u0026amp;qid=1619079496\u0026amp;s=electronics\u0026amp;sr=1-1). I personally recommend a TI NSPIRE CX CAS, I've been using mine for the past four years, in the packaging you get a software license for NSPIRE student software that has an emulator of the NSPIRE on it and allows you to type documents on your computer and upload them to your calculator. Even after clearing your calculator the uploaded documents will still be there. If you do end up getting a TI NSPIRE ensure that it says \"CAS\" in the top corner of the screen. CAS is the Computer Algebra System so it can solve a lot whole of things including indefinite integrals and derivates which aren't at a specific point, the TI-84 can't do this.\r\n\r\nWhen scheduling your classes much sure to consult Rate My Professor and the [Grade Distribution Reports](https://web-as.tamu.edu/gradereports/). Take Rate My Professor with a grain of salt as they are all opinions. Treat the grade distributions as your Newest Testament as they are literally data of the grade distribution for classes. Once you're able to search in Howdy for previous sections and you see a discrepancy between the professors that taught classes and the one's that show up on the grade distribution report, make sure to **STAY AWAY** from that professors as they have to go out of their way to have their grade distribution omitted from that report.\r\n\r\nWhen creating tentative schedules use [Aggie Scheduler](http://www.aggiescheduler.com/) to easily create and manipulate potential schedules. Have two windows open and cross-reference the sections you want with what has seats remaining. Avoid classes at 8:00 am, it sounds fine when you make the schedule because you did it all of high school, it is not fine. I've taken Calculus 3, Circuit Theory, and Thermodynamics all at 8:00, miserable pretty much every morning.\r\n\r\nOutside of academics, know when to stop studying and enjoy being in college. Stay up later than you probably should, go out on nights you probably shouldn't, talk to the people on your floor of the dorm hall, go to yell practice and football games, participate in A\u0026amp;M traditions, join an organization like one for your major or a FLO or Greek life. My point is don't just spend all your time studying, go out and have fun but also know when you **need** to be studying instead. College is what you make of it, you're really only going to get one college experience so don't waste it.\r\n\r\nSorry for such a long post I'm procrastinating studying for a final that's in a couple hours.","subreddit_name":"aggies","author":"NicelyDone2022"},{"body":"I learned Calculus from Stewart's back in the day.
