Booklist Help

[bucket]

Well, first off, do you go through a whole textbook in a semester? It hardly seems possible, and seems to be a waste of money if we only end up using a small section of the book and then never needing it again :S. I honestly am not cool with paying 100 dollars for each book if that is the case.

Now for my question, in the booklist shown to me on my.monash I am confronted with this;

MTH1020

Prescribed
Choice of:
Stewart, Calculus: Early Transcendentals (Combined edition) 6ed, 116.96
or
Stewart J, Multivariable Calculus Early Transcendentals 6ed, 78.80
or
Stewart J, Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals + CD 6ed, 83.55


Does this mean I choose one of those books? All three have different titles and gives me the impression that they all cover different things. :S
This question will probably look ridiculous to all you guys going on to second year uni lol.

It depends.

If you plan to do MTH1030, get the first one.
If you plan to only do MTH1020 and not carry on with maths to MTH1030, get the third one.

You can also use the combined edition for MTH2010, so it might be worth investing in that, getting 3 subjects out of one textbook is a pretty good deal.
