/sci/ - Science & Math

Go to the fucking library and take out some books.

that bio book... reese cambell... is for intro bio

freshman faggot

>>1421104
My university's library has tons of textbooks by school policy, but you can check them out for 2 hours max. or some shit like that. It's also not very convenient when I want to do hw late at night.

Gigapedia, Bibliotek
Id give you a bibliotek invite but the last faggot I invited on /sci/ has a 0 ration and 35 megs up (which is alot for ebooks)

>>1421120
Stop being lazy and do your homework when it is still bright and early.

>>1421115
That image has been reposted tons of times and is probably the first image result for used textbooks

>>1421127
Nah dude. Get out of this thread with your archaic suggestions.

>>1421123
I'll check out Gigapedia then

>>1421130
That is correct.

>>1421104

If you could just go to a library and check out textbooks then nobody would buy them retard

Usually they only have one or two copies so you can't take them out of the library.

I used this concept to my advantage in college, in many classes the exams were curved so my classmates were technically competition. In some classes a significant percentage of the class didn't buy the textbook and depended on the library, so I would just go to the library and hide the textbook a day or two before exams. Presto changeo there goes 1/3 of my competition.

Use the library.

Shit bro, I know those stickers. Unless another store uses them its used books at UBC.

i took cell biology with that book, it was a 200 level class fall quarter only with g chem 1-3 as prerequisites. can't take as freshman.

>>1421139
Do this. It works wonders.

These threads piss me off.

>>1421156

tons of school bookstores use those stickers.

>>1421152
Why? I legitimately don't have money for these textbooks. They're not even great textbooks I would like to keep for my major.

>>1421139
i wish i could hide them but they're behind the front desk and you have to request them

Fuck the people who are telling me to get it from a library. They're already checked out, somebody knows the system. Somebody always does.

>>1421172

ahh that sucks.

>>1421158

are you serious or trolling? that book is garbage compared to "Cells" by Lewin.

that book is used for intro level bio here only. if you're using that book for upper level bio i truly pity you

>I'm looking for intro courses, but recent editions, as in 2010. I am needing linear algebra, probability, statistics.

PROTIP: none of those subjects has changed at all in at least 100 years (at the introductory level anyway). gb2 B&N and get Dover copies of older textbooks for all 3 subjects for < $25 total.

I have solutions and book of university physics 1 on pdf I also have the Calculus 1,2, and 3 stewart edition 6 pdf

It's a shame that knowledge is reduced to a commodity to be bought and sold, especially with the advent of digital media.

>>1421181
I know that. But if I get problem sets, the pagination is going to be really off and the problems will probably be in a different order. I'm not going to depend on having friends in the class (school's really huge).

For example, the probability book I need is in its EIGHTH edition.

you could just buy the books scan the problem pages and return them (if they dont come with a gay cd that prevents return)

>>1421180

It was entry level biology, just saying you couldn't take it as a freshman. I don't think there were any biology classes at my school that freshman could take.

Well I found out that my probability book is on the shelf at the library instead of behind the desk. There are two copies so I won't feel too bad about "borrowing" it.

gigapedia.org will have almost every math book you'll need up to early grad school

>>1421204
I just might do that..

>>1421216
u sure? I'm not getting any for "Linear Algebra and its Applications" (David Lay)

>>1421185
Actually I've been looking for those. A link would be most appreciated.

>>1421226
those are pretty easy to find bro. they're even on mediafire.

i made cash/beer every quarter at book buying time.

went to library with camera+tripod and took pictures of every page of the books I needed, really doesn't take very long. wrote a simple program to compile them into single PDFs. left email address in book, saying 5 bucks or 6 pack of beer gets digital copy. fukkin profit, also made several friends this way.

>>1421234
do you think I could still make profit if I just did the problem sets instead of the content?

pr? or is the pool closed...

Yesterday I found 3/5 books pictured on piratebay
(didn't search for the other two)

what school u are attending OP

UW?

>>1421249

I dunno. Actually I did this like 5-10 years ago though, I probably wouldn't even do it anymore. Pirates life doesn't really work anymore, probability of getting fucked before graduation is too high.

Is this what you want OP?

>>1421264
no, Michigan

>>1421272
yes but I believe that is the first edition, which I have in djvu format. I wanted the third update for proper pagination

i hate to read from the screen, so i print the PDFs that works but sometimes will like to have a nice book collection :)

>>1421295
yeah I know what you mean, but these textbooks are mediocre. when I take more advanced math classes I'll buy them

rent the book from the library, tear out all the pages and return it and say it was like that when u found it
