The texbook (in any format) is required for the course. You can [https://www.openintro.org/go?id=os4&referrer=/book/os/index.php download it] at no cost and purchase hard copy versions in either [https://www.openintro.org/go?id=os4_color_pb&referrer=/book/os/index.php full color ($60)] or in [https://www.openintro.org/go?id=os4_bw_pb&referrer=/book/os/index.php black and white ($20)]. The B&W version is very affordable and I strongly recommend buying a hard copy for the purposes of the course and subsequent reference use. The book is excellent and has been adopted widely. It has also developed a large online community of students and teachers who have shared other resources. Lecture slides, videos, notes, and more are all freely licensed (many through the website and others elsewhere). | The texbook (in any format) is required for the course.
