This is a text for the standard three-semester course in single and multivariable calculus for science and engineering students, recently split to also accommodate schools on the quarter system. The authors are part of the APEX (Affordable Print and Electronic Textbooks) consortium based at VMI, which is developing other open textbooks as well. This text has been adopted for all sections of calculus at VMI and at a number of other schools across the U.S. The visual presentation is clear and pleasing, and the organization and style are reminiscent of the best known commercial textbooks and is now in version 4.0.
Sean Fitzpatrick at the University of Lethbridge has worked with Greg Hartman to convert the source files to PreTeXt and to produce two interactive online versions, one with embedded videos and one without.
