The easiest way to get started is to simply use the online book
hosted at SLU.
However, I am always nervous about having my course depend on
someone else keeping their site up, as a service.
Remedies will be listed in order of complexity.
Mirror sites are available at:
Runestone:
https://runestone.academy/ns/books/published/ExcelCalculus/ExcelCalculus.html
and
The University of
Lethbridge: https://opentext.uleth.ca/ExcelCalculus/ExcelCalculus.html
If you want to set up your own mirror you can download a compressed
version of the website and set up your own mirror.
(Please let me know if you do that are willing to let others use
your mirror.)
The text assumes that students have access to the internet and
are using the text online. However you may have students who
have limited internet access. They may only be able to use
the internet on campus.
You can obtain a pdf version of the text.
The text also has links to video files on YouTube and Excel
worksheets,
You can download a compressed
collections of the Excel worksheets.
One of the features of an open text is that you are allowed to
decide that my work is a good starting point or what you really
want. The files for the text are available at Github. (https://github.com/maymk/ExcelCalculus)
Hopefully to will contribute back to the project. However
you may decide to create a fork in the project and use your own
version.
I have created WeBWorK problems for the text. A compressed
collection of questions is available on request.
On request from instructors I am also willing to provide a
collection teaching materials. (Old tests, quizzes, semester
calendars, and such.)
If you are using the material, please stay in touch.
