Title: MyLab Math New Design with eText for Thomas' Calculus for Northwestern University -- Standalone Access Card
Your calculus course requires access to MyLab Math (also called MyMathLab). MyLab Math is an online platform that serves as an electronic textbook, an enrichment resource, and a homework portal. MyLab Math includes access to an electronic copy of the textbook; you do not need to purchase a paper copy of the book. You can acquire the course materials in several ways:
MyLab Math Only - Direct Purchase MyLab Math access directly from the publisher (Pearson) after setting up your account using instructions provided on the course Canvas site. This should cost $80 (+ tax).
MyLab Math Only - Bookstore Purchase MyLab Math access from the Northwestern Bookstore, and then set up your account using instructions provided on the course Canvas site. This should cost $106.65 (+ tax).
MyLab Math and Looseleaf Book Bundle Purchase access to MyLab Math bundled with a looseleaf copy of the textbook from the Northwestern Bookstore, and then set up your account using instructions provided on the course Canvas site. This should cost $146.65 (+ tax).
MyLab Math Only and Used Book Purchase access to MyLab Math using one of the first two options above (setting up your account using instructions provided on the course Canvas site), and acquire a used copy of the book separately.
IMPORTANT: MyLab Math access codes obtained from the publisher (following the instructions provided on the course Canvas Site) or the Northwestern Bookstore will work for our course. Access codes from any other source will not work. The access you purchase for your course this fall can be used across multiple quarters of calculus courses at Northwestern that use the same textbook (MATH 220-1, 220-2, 226-0, 228-1, 228-2, 230-1, 230-2).
