You are receiving this email because you are registered for PHY2A for this winter quarter (2012).

I have negotiated a special price for the textbook + access to (required) course assignment web-service directly form the publisher. I believe this will also give you access to the full etext. You are free to purchase these materials anywhere you want, including our own UCSD bookstore; however I believe your savings through this agreement are substantial.

To make sure you understand, I get no benefit (not one penny, zilch, zero, nada) from this.

To purchase the textbook form the publisher and have it shipped (USPS) to you, go to

http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-810197.html

I have been told this will change to www.wiley.com/go/ucsdhalliday within a week, so if the former URL does not work try the latter.

The textbook is a custom version of "Fundamentals of Physics, Ninth Edition

by Halliday, Resnick and Walker. It is "custom" because it contains all of Part I (minus gravitation) and some of part II. So you would not have to buy either the think complete version, or two slim volumes for parts I and II. If you want to purchase from another vendor make sure you get all this material (plus access to WileyPlus, the web-based course assignments system).

I hope you all enjoy your vacation. See you in January.
