Textbook

The recommended textbook is a free, online set of notes developed by a group of Mathematics professors at UBC. The notes contain the theory and examples, and sets of practice problems with hints and solutions. The textbook doesn't cover all the material discussed in class. Extra notes are provided to fill these gaps. Follow the links below to download the materials.

Term 1

  • Differential Calculus Textbook (CLP-1). Note there are two different versions of the textbook: the CLP-1 Differential Calculus Textbook with theory and examples, and the CLP-1 Differential Calculus Problem Book with practice problems and solutions. You will need both. There is also a link to a combined version of these resources for use on tablets and mobile phones.
  • Extra notes: some of the topics covered in Term 1 are not included in the textbook. Here are some resources on these topics:
    • Differential Equations and Euler's Method: Chapter 7 in Active Calculus single variable (2017 edition) by Boelkins, Austin and Schlicker. Section 2.4 from CLP 2 (textbook for Term 2)
    • Newton's Method: read section 5.4 in Differential Calculus for the Life Sciences by Leah Edelstein-Keshet.

Term 2

  • Integral Calculus Textbook (CLP-2). This textbook also has two versions: the CLP-2 Integral Calculus Textbook with theory and examples, and the CLP-2 Integral Calculus Problem Book with practice problems and solutions. You will need both. There is also a link to a combined version of these resources for use on tablets and mobile phones.
  • Extra notes: some of the topics covered in Term 2 are not included in the textbook. Here are some resources on these topics:
    • Probability and probability density functions: Chapter 8 in Prof. Leah Keshet's notes.
