Textbook Information for MATH-M 125

A NEW copy of Precalculus with Modeling and Visualization, 6th edition by Rockswold, with MyMathLab access. Please note that the physical copy of the textbook is technically optional. Some students choose to use the MyMathLab e-text only and not purchase the actual textbook. If you would rather work without the textbook and use only MyMathLab & Lectures created by your instructor, you can purchase the online access you need for homework, quizzes, and tests in MATH-M125 as you register for MyMathLab using the links here in Canvas.

CAUTION: If you plan to continue on to Calculus 1, know that many students find it helpful to have a physical copy of the Precalculus textbook as a reference.

** ALERT ** If you plan to take M126 in the future, it is suggested that you purchase the textbook bundled with the access code so that the code will work for both M125 and M126. If you choose to purchase a short one-semester access through the MyLab site, be advised that you will have to pay for a second access code when you get to M126. Please contact your instructor for more information.

Textbook Options:

Below is a "sample" screenshot of the textbook options, as outlined by the IUE Bookstore. You only need to choose ONE textbook option for MATH-M 125 that provided access to MyMathLab.

Textbook options based on https://www.iue.edu/bookstore/

Textbook Options Explained:

The first option from the IUE Bookstore does not contain a physical copy of the textbook. Instead, the first option is just the standalone access code that you need for MyMathLab. (If purchased from the IUE Bookstore, this code should work for both MATH-M125 and MATH-M126.)

If you like having a physical textbook to look at, the IUE Bookstore also offers a Loose Leaf (LL) edition with comes with an access code to MyMathLab. (Again, this option will provide a code that should work for both MATH-M125 and MATH-M126.)

If you prefer to not order from the IUE Bookstore, you can use the link to MyLab and Mastering to purchase access online using your debit or credit card. Or you can locate other options online that provide a hardback book and access to MyMathLab. If you choose other online options, be sure it is the correct textbook with an appropriate access code for MyMathLab. When purchasing, be sure to note how long the access will be valid if you have plans to continue to MATH-M126 in the future.
