Calculators. You can have the use of a financial calculator. Here's how if works:

Step 1. Decide which calculator to get - the Hewlett Packard 10BII+ or the Texas Instruments BAIIPLUS. Your instructor may have a preference. If not, remember both calculators are excellent machines and do everything covered in the text. Here are a few basic differences. The HP10BII+ has a larger display (12 digits compared to 11), makes it easier to change the decimal setting and, for most applications, requires fewer keystrokes. The TIBAIIPLUS uses worksheets, and while there are more keystrokes involved, it is easier to review and change entries.

Step 2. You purchase the calculator at the price shown below. You also pay a shipping and handling fee.

Step 3. If you return the calculator within five (5) months, you will be refunded the price of the calculator. You will NOT receive a refund of the shipping and handling fee.

Note: Most people end up liking their calculator so much they will not part with it. If you think you will end up keeping your calculator, consider buying one elsewhere because you may be able to buy it at a lower cost. New and used calculators can be purchased on web sites such as eBay and Amazon.com; be careful to get the current model (see images below). You can also buy through Staples (800-378-2753), Office Max (800-283-7674), Office Depot (800-463-3768), Valley (800-462-2019), Wholesale (800-880-9400), and El Dorado (800-227-8292). Remember if you buy from someone other than us you cannot return the calculator to us for a refund.

Suggestion: we like the "10Bii Financial Calculator from In a Day Development" on the Google Play Store, and the "10bii Financial Calculator from K2Cashflow" on the Apple iOS App Store.

User’s Guides. Everything you need to know about your calculator in order to complete Math for Business and Life is included in the text. As a result, we will not include a User’s Guide in your calculator shipment. To do so would increase your cost. If you want a User’s Guide you can order one separately (now, or after you have decided to keep your calculator). The User’s Guide cannot be returned for a refund.

Homework Booklet. If your instructor uses a Homework Booklet for assignments, you can get one at your school bookstore or you can buy one on this page.

New Texts, Blemished. We occasionally have a few new texts that have imperfections (such as wrinkles or marks on the cover). We offer these at a reduced price. No refunds.

E-Book. This is an electronic version of the text, in full color, just like the student text. You can purchase it (on this page, below) for a 6-month period or for life. Once you have made the purchase, we will provide you with a code to access the book (thru Vital Source, the fulfillment company we work with); please allow a few hours (more if overnight) to receive the code.

Homeschool Package. We support home schooling programs. The Homeschool Package includes: (1) a hardback student text, (2) Teacher’s Edition of text, and (3) Instructor Resource Materials. We require application/agreement form before providing a Homeschool Package. Please contact us at facultysupport@olympuspub.com before purchasing a Homeschool Package.
