Book for Math 20550, Spring 2015

We will be using Stewart Multi-Variable Calculus 7E (Hybrid Edition with access to online homework) and we will be using the online homework homework system Enhanced Webassign (EWA) provided by the book publisher for the 7th. (the hybrid edition (new) of the book offered by the bookstore includes all material covered in Calculus I, II and III at Notre Dame. It does not include the homework problems which are available in the e-book. Multi-semester access to the e-book comes with the hybrid edition.)

Buying a hard copy of the book for this course is optional. You may prefer to use just an e-book, or an e-book and a used (old or edition of the book). It is advisable to register for online homework (see below) to preview the e-book and attached media files before you make your decision on what to purchase.

To register for the online homework system Enhanced WebAssign (EWA), follow the instructions given in Homework/Registration Information. You will get the class key from your instructor. You can register any time after Wednesday January 14. You will have a grace period of about 2 weeks to work on your homework and view the e-book. You will need to purchase an Enhanced WebAssign access code within that period in order to continue taking homework and have your work saved.
