I'll give that a Yes. And, like any college-level course, there are multiple authors and editions, which may be used by various colleges.

I use the same one that T^2 linked, down to edition. If you happen to have some ideas as to where you want to go to college, I'd suggest trying to get one from one of the college bookstores.
