Not sure about other subjects, but:

MTH1020 course notes: definitely buy
Calculus: Early Transcendentals, buy only if you are thinking about doing more maths (MTH1030, MTH2010).

Definitely buy the accounting and finance book.

Choose either "Economics 6ed" OR "Microeconomics 6ed" (buy Microeconomics 6ed since its cheaper BUT buy this if your not planning on taking ECC1100 in the future).

[Streaker]

Choose either "Economics 6ed" OR "Microeconomics 6ed" (buy Microeconomics 6ed since its cheaper BUT buy this if your not planning on taking ECC1100 in the future).

So if I plan on taking ECC1100 in the future, do I only buy Economics 6ed or both? Will Economics 6ed by itself cover both topics?

Economics 6ed is basically two books in one so yes it covers both topics.

thanks guys!
just some questions
-anyone know how much diff there is between the bio books 7ed and 8ed ?
-also if i should get the bio dictionary...
-what is the Istudy card mentioned for AFC1000?

[methodsman]

-what is the Istudy card mentioned for AFC1000?

Don't even bother with the study card (unless it comes with the book). My guess is that it may be summarised topics from the book - you get topic summaries for free from lecture notes anyway.

A 2nd hand book will suffice - even though it won't have the study card.
