Textbook
James Stewart, Calculus, 7th edition, published by Brooks Cole, 2012. ISBN-13: 978-0-538-49781-7, ISBN-10: 0-538-49781-5.

These materials are completely optional and intended only for students with special interest in the subject and with good technical skills.

The lecture slides in our course are part of the freeCalc project. The freeCalc project provides Calculus I, II and III lecture slides and homework sets in the document processing system LaTeX. The LaTeX sources are completely free (can be used, shared and modified).

I will sometimes post LaTeX sources of the materials here:
https://piazza.com/umb/spring2015/m141/home#resources
for those of you who want to learn LaTeX on their own.

These materials are meant for instructors wanting to teach with freecalc and/or students who want to learn LaTeX by studying a real, and very large, project. The freecalc website is
https://sourceforge.net/p/freecalculus/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
There, you can track our progress on the project, or even contact us to become a contributing member.

Below is a guide of how to set up the freecalc project on your machine.


If you already have subversion and LaTeX installed, you are an expert. To set up freecalc open a terminal and type the command:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/freecalculus/code/trunk freecalculus-code

If you don't have subversion installed (or don't know what that means), besides running the command above, please also read point 1). If you don't have LaTeX installed (or don't know what that means), read point 2).

1. If you need to install subversion (or don't know what subversion means).
1.1. On Windows, you can install TortoiseSVN from here:
http://tortoisesvn.net/
1.2. On Ubuntu Linux open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and enter the command:
sudo apt-get install subversion
2. If you need to install LaTeX (or don't know what LaTeX means). LaTeX is a system for writing documents (just as google docs or Microsoft Word), focused on creating scientific texts containing large amounts of mathematical formulas. To set up a LaTeX system on your computer:
2.1. Install LaTeX:
- Linux: install texlive. In Ubuntu Linux, open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and enter the command:
sudo apt-get install texlive
- Windows: install miktex: http://miktex.org/download
2.2. Install texstudio:
http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/
2.3. Open texstudio, create a new document. Enter the sample "hello world" document from
http://latex-project.org/intro.html
To view the final pdf file, press F1 inside texstudio.
2.4. The best-all-you-need-to-know-about-latex-book:
