Textbooks

Students are required to purchase required texts. To assist with availability and cost, most courses allow various editions to be used. In addition, some courses allow alternative texts. The desired goal is to end reliance on expensive textbooks. Here we list the titles and authors for entry-level courses (more details are available once enrolled).
