For any of those who has taken math 1a03, preferably most recently, besides the textbook and two sollution manuals, is there anything else required in the course to be purchased ( ie access codes etc)?

you need to buy something to access their online assignment page. if you bought a new set of textbooks, it should be there. if not, buy it at titles.

get a calculator also. saves lives.

yeah make sure you get the official mcmaster calculator. Casio Fx-991MS! You can buy it at Titles, but its usually more expensive, try to catch it on sale somewhere.

Webassign is the online assignment tool you may or may not need. Recently, they declared that instructors cannot force you to buy material that are for mandatory marks. So what happens is you CAN buy it and do the practice problems there for marks or not. Easy marks IMO and you get the extra practice with hints.
