(see 5)
3) Buy a binder-ready version – the same as 1) – but not bound – but holes are punched. The
bound version is bulky and heavy – the binder-ready version gives you the opportunity to carry
around just the chapter you are using. Available at the WPI Bookstore or from Pearson .
4) Buy a Mastering Physics access kit plus access to an e-text version of Young & Freedman at the
WPI Bookstore. If you do not feel that you will need a hard copy, this is a less expensive
alternative.

textbook.
4) and 5) can also be accomplished online at www.masteringphysics.com. You will need a credit
card. Click on “Students”, then on “No”, then select Young & Freedman. It is also worth
pointing out that options 4) and 5) do not give you the possibility of selling your textbook after the
course is over – 1), 2), and 3) do.
Note that it is essential that each student have their own MasteringPhysics account. Textbooks,
however, can be shared -- among roommates or larger groups.
