Additional references
- Stewart's Calculus: Early Transcendentals is available at the UBC bookstore and can be found secondhand as it is used for a number of other first year calculus courses on campus. It does not cover all the topics we cover in this course and covers some topics we do not cover but there is a significant overlap and some topics, especially the basic ones, might provide useful worled examples.
- Paul's online notes, written by Prof. Paul Dawkins at Lamar University provide a good, free and online resource for a standard calculus course.
