Calculus Book/Software Guidelines for Calculus courses
Calculus instructors have an option of using Achieve or Webworks for their Calculus sections.
Instructors using Achieve
Students are required to buy Achieve which comes with a homework system and an online book. Here are the available options to buy Achieve:
Achieve (1-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319411657)
Achieve (4-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319438333)
Loose-leaf + Achieve (1-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319411671)
Loose-leaf + Achieve (4-term): (Bookstore ISBN: 9781319438357)
Instructors using WeBWorK:
Since WeBWorK is free, students do not need to buy any homework system. However students are required to obtain the text book either through Achieve (as above) or a used book or rent a book.
Student Options:
Students taking only one semester of Calculus are suggested to buy the 1- term access to Achieve.
- Access to the online book expires after Achieve subscription expires. If students want to have a hard copy of the book, students can choose the “Loose- leaf” option above.
Recommended to buy the 4-term access to Achieve, irrespective of whether students will enroll in Achieve sections or Webwork sections in subsequent semesters.
If enrolled in an Achieve section, they can use their online book if they enroll in a Calculus Webwork section in subsequent semesters.
If they have bought a 1-term access to Achieve, they will be able to upgrade their Achieve subscriptions to a 4-term access by paying the difference. Please contact Alex Markle directly.
If enrolled in a Webwork section, they may be required to buy Achieve if they enroll in a Calculus Achieve section in subsequent semesters.
