Calc101.com will solve "99.9%" of freshman derivative and integral problems; according to the site, "Out of nearly four thousand tests from four calculus books, there were a few calc101.com couldn't do." All you do is enter your derivative or integral problem, and the answer (along with a detailed explanation of each step) is generated. However, integral problems are not free—it will give you the answer, but if you want the steps listed and explained, you have to buy a password that will allow you to solve 900 problems at a cost of $15. (You can also multiply and divide polynomials step by step for free.)

Each chapter opens with a motivating application that previews the mathematical concepts to be explored. Over 1,000 examples are provided; each is titled for easy reference and most include step-by-step solutions. Essay questions are also provided. Calculus Learning Tools CD-ROM comes free with each copy of the text purchased. Its variety of explorations, labs, 3-D rotatable graphs, and other tools bring calculus concepts to life.

In this classic math text, Martin Gardner has rendered calculus comprehensible to readers of all levels. With a new introduction, three new chapters, modernized language and methods throughout, and an appendix of challenging and enjoyable practice problems, Calculus Made Easy has been thoroughly updated for the modern reader.

This site contains free Flash tutorials to help you review the basic concepts of calculus. In addition, there is a fully searchable bank of practice problems on just about any calculus topic, organized either alphabetically by topic or in sequence, by academic year.

Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning Initiative (OLI) features a collection of openly available and free online courses and course materials that enact instruction for an entire course in an online format.

This course in calculus is currently under development, but has been made available while it is under development. The course material may undergo significant changes over the next several months.

Mike Kelley, the best-selling author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Calculus and the Director of Preparation at ABCTE, has taken what appears to be a typical calculus workbook, chock full of solved calculus problems, and made legible notes in the margins, adding missing steps and simplifying solutions.

This site is run by a professor at Manhattan Community College in New York and includes lessons on: Skill in Arithmetic, Plane Geometry, Skill in Algebra, Topics in Trigonometry, Topics in Precalculus and Topics in Calculus.
