My next semester is already taking shape. My book list appears to be online at the university and I already have good news. Last time I took an Economics class (Econ201) , I downloaded the entire textbook, study guide, and solutions manual from the textbook manufacturers webpage. The good news comes from the fact that I downloaded the Microeconomics and Macroeconomics portions of the textbook. That means I already have the textbook for Econ202.
My other textbooks include an expensive book for CS340, Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis. After that is another expensive book for CS306, Understanding Data Communcation and Networks. I also have to buy a reader and a workbook for Chinese 100. For CS290AF, there isn’t any textbook listed so far. Maybe it will be some free online text!! :) I can only hope.
