Course Description:
This course is delivered in Lumen OHM with automated grading of numerical and algebraic answers, similar to WebAssign and MyMathLab. This makes it appropriate for self-study by students, or as a face to face course. This course can be imported into your LMS (Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle) to provide a single-sign on experience for your students, as well as grade return for you.
Text
This course for Calculus 1 and 2 is based on Contemporary Calculus 
by Dale Hoffman. A printed version of the calculus 1 (ch. 1-4) book is available on Amazon . A printed version of the Calculus 2 (ch. 5-10) book is available on Lulu (soon to be on Amazon). The PDFs for chapters 1-3 in this course shell are reformatted versions of the original text which are not yet complete, and will not match the page numbers of the original text.
