Albert Schueller has provided this tar file of WebWork assignments for second semester calculus, if you are running a WebWork server.


This is the 2011 version of the multivariable calculus book. It now has a chapter on differential equations. During the academic year I will update the book with minor corrections, but no major changes. The pagination should not change.

Support independent publishing: Buy this book on Lulu. You can get a printed copy of the book at lulu.com. Lulu.com frequently has special offers for discounts or free shipping; check the main lulu page before you order.


If you want to print out the text, you should probably download individual chapters; if you want to read the book on a computer screen, the "whole book" is a better choice, as it contains live links that let you easily jump from place to place in the book and to documents and demonstrations on the web. The links "2 up" and "4 up" will give you versions with two or four book pages per printed page.

You can download the source code. (This usually lags the pdf version; email me if it is behind and you want the current source.)

There is also a single variable version of the book, chapters 1-11.

The PDF reader from Adobe might not let you markup these pdf files. There is a nice, free PDF viewer for Windows that will allow you to read them and add highlighting, sticky tabs, etc. It is at http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer
