Note that this ISBN number is unique to the University of Florida and is sold only at local bookstores.
As for PHY2048, you will need a code to do the on-line homework;
however, the code you used in PHY2048 will also work in PHY2049.
Thus, the PHY2049 textbook is sold without a code. If you did not
take PHY2048 at UF recently, then you can purchase a book and code
for the same price at
