I actually find it much easier to search or browse for content using my tablet or phone, then choose to throw it up on the TV via Chromecast, as opposed to searching for content using a remote like on a Roku or my Xbox. It just seems easier

There was a law that was supposed to make this easier, to make it so that students have more time to look for books rather than the week before the semester starts. Starting in 2010 schools that receive federal financial aid are required to

I was really happy that a calculus professor of mine told everyone that they could buy an older edition of this book if they wanted, and he would supply his own homework problem sets as handouts rather than depend upon the ones in the book.
