Those are some cheep books! I'll just go back a few editions in the algebra based ones and I should be able to get all 5 for about $20-30. Thanks again.

I've heard of abebooks, but so far I've been more concerned with finding good books than getting them for cheep. What are some other good websites to find them for cheep?

The ones I've found are $30-40 each

When it comes to math it doesn't have to be geared towards the exams, math is really my favorite subject, and I enjoy learning different parts that aren't really taught in school.

I'll look into some older editions, I have no problem with paying $100 total for all these books at 1 off the current edition, but if you think it's not that big of a deal I'll go back another edition.

Thanks, for only a little more than a dollar this looks to be a awesome companion book.

The 6th edition of Giancoli is only $40 on amazon, but it's more than 10 years old, does that age matter much? (The same with Giancoli calc-based, the third edition was printed in 2000 but I can't really afford the 4th edition. Will the age of the book affect the material that much?) With Serway...

I'm not that confident working with those operators yet, so it just seems like added stress right now. Besides my Junior I'll be self-studying both AP Physics C courses while in AP Calc AB, so I can wait till then to really get of know calc-based physics.

I should say I can't make much use of anything calc-based as I have taught myself the basics, but nothing near the level that a physics book would use.

I will be a sophomore this year, and I intend to self-study AP Physics 1&2. I took a non-math based semester intro course last year, so I'm basically going in blind. I've done my research and I'm intending to use Physics: Principles with Applications (7th Edition) (Douglas C. Giancoli) and...
