so i bought the iclicker, but when i was openng my textbook for math 1ls3, there was a remote inside

can i use the remote instead of the iclicker? did i just waste 35$ on the iclicker?

I really, really doubt that you can use the two interchangeably. The prof for physics has an iClicker receiver, which most likely wouldn't recognize signals from the math remote. It sucks that both courses aren't using the same system, but perhaps that could be a suggestion made for future years.

i just did the exact same thing. i bought the iclicker, opened the box to register it, then was about to put my math 1LS3 textbook in my backpack until i realised that it has a remote with it...
