What you need for MS 110

Text: Technical Calculus by Peter Kuhfittig. The earlier book was the Third Edition (ISBN 0-534-21852-0). The present is the Fourth (ISBN 0-495-01876-7). I don't see much difference between them (except the price!). I believe either should do for this class, although whomever you get for Tech Calc II might feel differently.

Calculator: You need a "scientific" calculator -- one that does trig functions like SIN and COS and logarithmic things like LOG and LN. This kind of calculator is available for $10 and up. You may want to have a "graphing" calculator that will plot functions for you. They're nice to have to check your work...but you have to learn how to do it yourself, anyway. (Any brand will do just fine, though I am a confirmed HP48 freak -- it's the calculator if you are heavily into math, science, or engineering. If you are not madly interested in those things, you won't like it and will have wasted your money. If you do have one, I can show you how to find thousands of programs for it.
