The AMS Department recommends the Cengage Unlimited option ( cengage.com/unlimited ) for students who may enroll in future courses where departments use Cengage Publishing textbooks/eBooks. (Note: AMS will use the same course materials for AMS 151 (Calculus I) and AMS 161 (Calculus II)) :
1. Sign Up: Sign up for Cengage Unlimited and pay $119.99 for 4 months, $179.99 for
12 months, or $239.99 for 24 months for all course materials, no matter how many you use.
2. Access: Access digital learning platforms, ebooks, online homework and study tools.
Browse over 22,000 ebooks and digital resources across 70 disciplines.
3. Receive: Want print? If you are using one of Cengage's digital learning platforms,
you would pay $7.99 for shipping.
4. Keep: When the subscription ends, students can keep up to six textbooks in a “digital locker”
and access time any them for up to a year at no cost.
