I like how teachers always use the newest of books as well for their curriculum...I really wonder if Calculus 101 has changed in the past 50 years. New editions add two new words or rearrange pages. It's so stupid. Then they act like you can't use old editions because the problems assigned will be on non-corresponding page numbers. My problem is that the teacher can't be like 'lets use the old edition that can be bought online for 30 bucks' (Granted I remember some teachers telling us to get old editions of certain books online, under their breath). The schools mandate the use of the new books becasue of what I assume are contracts. It's the best though when you buy a book for $150 or whatever and at the end of the semester when you go to sell them back, it happened to be their last month's usage and they would only offer you 2 bucks (or 20 cents) in return. I sold those effers on ebay for like 80 lol. --- lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll <cite>LOLIAmAnAlt posted [p:905422093] in How should...
