Textbooks, Old and New

Some students have asked about using the 7th edition of our textbook, rather than the current 8th edition. To my knowledge, there are no major changes to the text. There are a few changes, though. If you plan to use the 7th edition, you will want to pay careful attention to the exercises, or you might end up doing the wrong problems.

For instance, this week, the problems 1.3.2, 1.3.10, and 1.3.27 are the same. The 7th edition does not have a problem 1.3.30, though.

If you do decide to get by with the 7th edition, you will be responsible for making sure you do the correct problems. If you fail to do so, and points are deducted, well... don't come cryin' ta me.
