Textbooks for Spring 2013
[You can also access the list of books for prior Fall 2012 semester]
The following table shows all CSC courses offered in the Spring 2013 semester, along with any required textbooks and links to sources for textbooks. While the Department of Computer Science does not endorse any particular vendor, we point out that purchasing from the UNCG Bookstore has the advantage of an on-campus location and simple returns throughout the add/drop period, and a portion of the sales at the UNCG Bookstore comes back to UNCG to support student scholarships. The Amazon link is given as perhaps the best source for information about the books (including customer reviews), and the AllBookstores.com is a comparison shopping site that gives quotes from multiple online booksellers.
