how to get the books
You can buy the books from the FC Bookstore, or download them for free from this web site. You'll need books 1, 2, and 3, plus the lab manual. I'm the author of the books. I do not receive any royalty from sales of the books. You can choose to download the books for free and print them yourself, but you typically don't save any significant amount of money that way, and what you get is a big, thick, unbound stack of single-sided output.
about the class
This is a class intended for biology majors who want to transfer to a UC. If you're an engineering major, you should be in Physics 221. If you just need a gen ed class, you should be in Physics 130. The prerequisites for this class are Math 141 (algebra) and Math 142 (trig), and the corequisite is Math 150A (calculus). If you're a biology major and want to transfer to a Cal State campus, then the 210-211 sequence will work, but you can also satisfy the requirement with the 205-206 sequence, which has no calculus.
