Going by just the course listings, it seems like Webassign for math 1a03 and Mastering Chemistry for Chem 1A03 are required? Is that true? What about Mastering Physics?

Strangely, neither of these two textbook buying "guides": Where to Buy Books (New & Used), Buying Your Textbooks (new and used), mention anything about keeping in mind that some courses might require access codes that come with new textbooks.

Thanks

Webassign is for sure, it's 10% for assignments on webassign (Gotten from the course outline for 2010-2011).

Mastering Physics and Mastering Chem are not mandatory. I wouldn't get them if you are buying used books. Chemistry has plenty of supplementary questions online (through Avenue) and in the book. Physics you have questions from the book as well as CAPA (which is mandatory). I believe you can go back and view the questions, but just in case you should print them off after you do them.

protip, when doing your webassign assignments, dont use an online integrater cause it wont help when your writing the exam

Thanks for the info guys.

Also, what is the media pack that some people are selling along with the General Chemistry textbook. Can't include Mastering Chemistry since that expires are 1 or 2 sem right?

You need WebAssign, don't bother with the others.

Contrary to what others have said, use WolframAlpha for WebAssign, as it's easy enough to pick up the patterns for integration in 1A03/1AA3. You'll save a whole lot of time too.

Not sure what the media pack is. But it's definitively a CD of some sort. Could be the electronic version of the text or something like that.

Yes, Mastering Chemistry expires but it doesn't expire unless it has been activated. So if the previous owner never used it then you should be able to.

I think you should make sure you can do integrations by hand first though. If you know how then go ahead and use WolframAlpha. Usually when you look at the question you should be able to know the steps to integrate it, if you don't then you should go through the math book to learn it.

In the end all I'm saying is that it's better to know it THEN use wolfram than to use wolfram the entire semester telling yourself you'll learn integration before the exam.

Of course, you should know how to integrate before using Wolfram. I think the "difficulties" of it are somewhat overstated, though - it's just that prior to integration, the only calculus we're exposed to requires absolutely no thought whatsoever. Integration really doesn't require a lot of practice, it just involves recognizing particular patterns.
I prefer to recall "further back", up to the general form, say, and then work from there, while others may prefer to recall back to particular problem types. The only reason I try to avoid the problem types method is that problem types change, while the general concepts don't. That said, if you're not taking calculus past 1AA3 and want to get a double-digit grade, then this doesn't really apply, haha
