I think it depends on your comfort with math. Some people will take Math 1A03 knowing everything in the course, others will have to rely on the the textbook for practice questions. |

Nope, the package is all you need for both courses. They don't actually check if you buy the books, that's your responsibility.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics Zill
I wouldn't buy Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Zill if I were tight on money, since the whole book is available on google books. Only problem with this is that you have to go page by page starting from page 1 everytime. Free things come at a cost :S
