Book/Access Code Information

We will cover material from the book;

Stewart Calculus 9e

In our class, we will use the online homework system Enhanced WebAssign (EWA) owned by Cengage.

This semester, we are using the First Day Access program at Notre Dame, which means that your homework and e-book will be available on the first day of class in Canvas.

The cost of the e-book and homework will be billed directly to your account by the registrar's office. If you have funding for books etc.. through scholarships or student support, the registrar's office will apply the funds to the cost of your materials in Canvas.

When you click on a homework in Canvas, you will be asked to register with Cengage, if you do not already have an account with them. Further details are given in the Homework Information sheet.

If you wish to opt out of the First Day Access program, you must do so before the course drop date (Sept. 03). You will have a grace period of about 10 days(from the start of semester) to work on your homework and view the e-book.If you opt out, you will need to pay the full price for Cengage, out of pocket, in order to have access to your homework.

Opting out of the First Day Access Program is probably only a reasonable idea if you intend to take Calculus I-III AND you are taking at least one other first year course using webassign. When considering opting out, please keep in mind that you lose the convenience of having your scholarship funds applied directly to the costs. You will also have to remember to opt out of the First Day Access program in Calculus II and Calculus III. So you may find that the economic benefits are offset by the inconveniences caused by opting out.

 

If you fit into the above category and choose to opt out, you will need to purchase a Cengage Unlimited Subscription. For this class, you should purchase the Cengage Unlimited (4 month option) in the bookstore or at https://www.cengage.com/unlimited/.

 

This will give you lifetime of edition access to the e-book and homework for all three semesters (Calc 1-3). It will also give you accesss to precalculus books for reference. For more details click on this link: https://www.webassign.com/instructors/purchasing/cengage-unlimited/

 

The 4-month Cengage Unlimited option will also cover e-books and homework for any other class using Cengage for your first semester.
