Introduction
We’re so glad that you’re working to expand the wide world of OER Calculus materials.
Let’s Talk!
We invite you to share in the collaboration and wisdom-sharing of the OER community. Slack is a free, easy-to-use tool for communication and collaboration. It offers channels for group conversations on specific topics, including the “Math” channel. You can also send direct messages to individuals or groups. Use it from any computer or mobile device.

Description |
| Applied Calculus – Calway/ Hoffman | Full MOM course, online homework, |
An openly licensed applied calculus textbook, covering derivatives, integrals, and an intro to multivariable calculus. This book is heavily remixed from Dale Hoffman’s Contemporary Calculus textbook, and retains the same conceptual focus from that text.
License: Creative Commons Attribution. This license is considered to be some to be the most open license since it is the least restrictive. It allows reuse, remixing, and distribution (including commercial), only requiring attribution. The content can be remixed into content of other license, but on the other hand it allows the remix to be put under a more restrictive license.

| Contemporary Calculus – Hoffman | Full MOM course, online homework, forums, video support |
Many of these materials were developed for the Open Course Library Project of the Washington State Colleges as part of a Gates Foundation grant. The goal of this project was to create materials that would be FREE (on the web) to anyone who wanted to use or modify them (and not have to pay $200 for a calculus book). They have been used by several thousand students. The textbook sections, in color, are available free in pdf format at the bottom of this page. |
