Description and Access
Differential Calculus for the Life Sciences
This textbook was written by a math professor at the University of British Columbia and is currently used as a textbook for introductory calculus courses for life sciences undergraduates.
Includes: exercises and solutions to selected problems
May suit: MATH 203 Differential & Integral Calculus I
Calculus for the Life Sciences: A Modelling Approach Volume 1
This textbook was written by two professors at Iowa State University with the goal of introducing students to scientific modeling. This course aims to teach students the necessary skills and concepts from a traditional physical sciences course while explaining the applications of calculus to the life sciences.
Includes: exercises, solutions to select problems, and MATLAB exercises
May suit: MATH 203 Differential & Integral Calculus I
Calculus
Originally published through traditional means, this textbook is now available as an open educational resource. This text includes single and multivariable calculus and was written by a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Includes: an instructor’s manual, a student study guide with exercises and select solutions, and links to a calculus video series by the author
May suit: MATH 203 Differential & Integral Calculus I, and MATH 209 Fundamental Mathematics II
Contemporary Calculus
This textbook was created as part of the Washington State Colleges’ Open Course Library Project, which received funding through the Gates Foundation. This text has been used by thousands of students within Washington State and was developed by a professor at Bellevue College.
Includes: exercises, solutions to odd-numbered problems, and other resources
May suit: MATH 203 Differential & Integral Calculus I, MATH 209 Fundamental Mathematics II, MAST 218 Multivariable Calculus I, and MATH 264 Advanced Calculus I
APEX Calculus
This text, or portions of it, has been adopted at a considerable number of American institutions to teach calculus, according to thei
