Calculus and Analysis


Single Variable Calculus

An introductory calculus course from MIT OpenCourseWare by David Jerison, covering differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, with applications. There are also readings, lecture notes, assignments, practice exams with solutions and links to a large number of interactive Java applets such as: Operations on functions; Trigonometric functions; Slope of a line; Derivative and tangent line; Constant, linear, quadratic and cubic approximations; Numerical integration; Polar plotter; Curves in two dimensions.

Video Lectures for Single-variable Calculus

Over 50 short videos by Selwyn Hollis (University of Houston) on basic calculus topics - the first 5 have the titles: Limits and Graphs (11 minutes), Calculation of Limits (17 minutes), Trigonometric Limits (17 minutes), Continuity (19.5 minutes), The Derivative (18.5 minutes). View using Apple's QuickTime 7 player or stream to an iPhone or iPod Touch. These are not videoed lectures taken in a lecture room but a very effective mix of graphics (equations, graphs etc) with audio.

Calculus Lecture Notes

These notes by S. Tryphonas and P. Hill (University of Toronto, Scarborough) are in fact problem sets, old tests and exams - hundreds of them and some with solutions.

Calculus

Textbook by Gilbert Strang, made available by MIT OpenCourseWare and covering single and multivariable calculus in depth - and rich with applications. There are also answers to odd-numbered problems, a table of integrals, an instructor's manual and a student study guide with model problems with complete solutions, extra drill problems, read-through questions from the text with the blanks filled in and solutions to selected even-numbered problems in each section. The book (more than 600 pages) can be downloaded as a single PDF file but individual chapters are also available.

Chapter headings are: Introduction to Calculus, Derivatives, Applications of the Derivative, The Chain Rule, Integrals, Exponentials and Logarithms, Techniques of Integration, Applications of the Integral, Polar Coordinates and Complex Numbers, Infinite Series, Vectors and Matrices, Motion along a Curve, Partial Derivatives, Multiple Integrals, Vector Calculus, Mathematics after Calculus

Multivariable Calculus

This course by Denis Auroux from MIT OpenCourseWare covers vector and multi-variable calculus. Topics include vectors and matrices, partial derivatives, double and triple integrals, and vector calculus in 2 and 3-space. It comes with notes, assignments and practice exams. There are also interactive math applets ("mathlets"), to visualize and experiment with various concepts.

Vector Calculus

A text on elementary multivariable calculus by Michael Corral (Schoolcraft College, Michigan), designed for students who have completed courses in single-variable calculus. It covers basic vector algebra (lines, planes and surfaces), vector-valued functions, functions of 2 or 3 variables, partial derivatives, optimization, multiple integrals and line and surface integrals. There is also a discussion of numerical methods and a section dealing with applications to probability. Over 400 exercises are included with solutions to some.

Interactive Real Analysis

An online, interactive textbook for Real Analysis or Advanced Calculus in one real variable by Bert G. Wachsmuth (Seton Hall University). Topics include sets, sequences, series, continuity, differentiability, integrability (Riemann and Lebesgue), topology and power series and Java applets illustrate or experiment with concepts introduced in the text.

A Problem Text in Advanced Calculus, A Companion to Real Analysis

John M. Erdman (Portland State University, Oregon) offers 2 online textbooks. A Problem Text " ..... is intended for students of mathematics and others who have completed (or nearly completed) a standard introductory calculus sequence and who wish to understand where all those rules and formulas come from."

Companion to Real Analysis was "..... written for a year long course in real analysis for seniors and first year graduate students".

Complex Analysis

An 11 chapter online introductory text by George Cain (Georgia Institute of Technology). Chapter headings are: Complex Numbers; Complex Functions; Elementary Functions; Integration; Cauchy's Theorem; More Integration; Harmonic Functions; Series, Taylor and Laurent Series; Poles, Residues and All That; Argument Principle.

Differential Equations

This course by Arthur Mattuck and Haynes Miller from MIT OpenCourseWare also comes with notes, assignments, practice exams and interactive math applets.
 

"Differential Equations are the language in which the laws of nature are expressed. Understanding properties of solutions of differential equations is fundamental to much of contemporary science and engineering."

"Topics include: Solution of first-order ODE's by analytical, graphical and numerical methods; Linear ODE's, especially second order with constant coefficients;

Undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters; Sinusoidal and exponential signals: oscillations, damping, resonance; Complex numbers and exponentials; Fourier series, periodic solutions; Delta functions, convolution, and Laplace transform methods; Matrix and first order linear systems: eigenvalues and eigenvectors; and Non-linear autonomous systems: critical point analysis and phase plane diagrams."
