If you use any edition other than the adopted 9th edition, it is at your own risk.

Last spring we used the 8th edition, which may work.  There are some changes, including some homework problems that are missing.  The syllabus will contain corresponding pages for the 8th edition hardbound and the 8th International edition (which is also missing some homework problems).

Be careful buying used on-line:  do not buy the Flexible Version with 2 separate books (or sometimes just 1 book).  We do not use the CD, so a book without the CD will work.  You can get the additional information from the text on reserve in the library.

All supplemental material such as PowerPoint slides, class lecture notes and homework solutions are now posted on the course BlackBoard site.

The PowerPoint slides and Package of graphs and charts can be bought at the Copy Center in the bookstore. They are not on the bookstore shelves with the text, but in the Copy Center.
