The textbook,

Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems:
Computing and Modeling Tech Update, by Edwards and Penney

needs to be purchased in a form that includes the
Pearson MyLab Math online homework platform.

There are various options:

Option 1:

ISBN 9780135998144
MyLab Math access for online homework

This options includes an e-copy of the book,
but no physical book.

Option 2:

ISBN: 9780135998137
Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems: Computing
and Modeling Tech Update, Loose-Leaf Edition Plus MyLab Math
with Pearson eText - 18-Week Access Card

This option gets you a loose-leaf copy of the book
and access to MyLab Math for the duration of the
course.

Option 3:

ISBN: 9780135904206
Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems: Computing
and Modeling Tech Update, Edwards and Penney, Plus MyLab Math
with Pearson eText - 18-Week Access Card

Same as option 2, but a more expensive hard copy
of the book.

WARNING: If you plan to take MA 303 after MA 266,
which uses MyLab Math and the same textbook, you
might want longer access to MyLab. You can extend
the access by paying extra at the time you register
your MyLab account inside Brightspace. If you will
take 303 more that a year after 266, you will have
to purchase an 18 week access card again. Here's
what Pearson says:

----------------------------------------

When students register their MyLab account,
they are offered the less expensive 18 week
code (one term only) for the $69.99 price.
But they will also have the option to buy
the 24-month access code for $104.99. That
option will allow them to use this for both
MA 266 and MA 303. Note that these prices are
not bookstore prices. Those are usually much
higher. These are the prices when you buy
directly from Pearson when you register using
a debit/credit or paypal account.
