OpenIntro Statistics
OpenIntro Statistics strives to be a complete introductory textbook of the highest caliber. Its core derives from the classic notions of statistics education and is extended by recent innovations. The textbook meets high quality standards and has been used at Princeton, Vanderbilt, UMass Amherst, and many other schools.
OpenIntro Statistics was written to allow exibility in choosing and ordering course topics. The material is divided into two pieces: main text and special topics. The main text has been structured to bring statistical inference and modeling closer to the front of a course. Special topics, labeled in the table of contents and in section titles, may be added to a course as they arise naturally in the curriculum.

Khan Academy

Calculus
Topics covered in the first two or three semesters of college calculus. Everything from limits to derivatives to integrals to vector calculus. Should understand the topics in the pre-calculus playlist first
Probability and Statistics
Covers probability, differential and inferential statistics, random variables, regression, and many other topics.

Ted Talks: Statistics and Calculus

Teach Statistics before Calculus
Arthur Benjamin offers a bold proposal on how to make math education relevant in the digital age.
Making Sense of Too Much Data
"It's the age of Big Data. But what, exactly, do we do with all this information? These talks explore practical, ethical — and spectacularly visual — ways to understand near-infinite data."
What's the Best Way to Learn Algebra, Math, Precalculus, Calculus?
"What is the best way to learn this subjects? how can we learn it in easy and fun way? what is the best resources for it?."
Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics
"After making a splash in the field of bioinformatics, Sebastian Wernicke moved on to the corporate sphere, where he motivates and manages multidimensional projects"
Calculus and he New Forms of Architecture
Greg Lynn talks about the mathematical roots of architecture — and how calculus and digital tools allow modern designers to move beyond the traditional building forms.

Exercises & Worksheets

S.O.S. Mathematics/Calculus
"S.O.S. Mathematics is your free resource for math review material from Algebra to Differential Equations!
The perfect study site for high school, college students and adult learners."
Calculus of the Dinner Table
"Calculus students are presented with a write-pair-share activity that initially involves the construction of a model based on direct variation and later involves the use of calculus as a means by which to analyze the model."

Quizzes

Cyber Exams
CyberExam is a place for students to take practice tests, midterm exams, final exams, quizzes for Pre-Calculus and Calculus.

Saylor Foundation

Saylor is a unique resource that can be used in a couple of different ways.

Anyone wanting to take a class and not get any credit can take a "course" at Saylor.
Resources that they use can be viewed to incorporate into your class.
Students can use this as supplemental material.

The Following is a list of courses on Calculus and Statistics:

Single Variable Calculus I
"This course is designed to introduce you to the study of calculus. You will learn concrete applications of how calculus is used and, more importantly, why it works"
Single Variable Calculus II
"This course is the second installment of Single-Variable Calculus. In Part I (MA101), we studied limits, derivatives, and basic integrals as a means to understand the behavior of functions. In this course (Part II), we will extend our differentiation and integration abilities and apply the techniques we have learned."
Introduction to Statistics
"The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the subject of statistics as a science of data. There is data abound in this information age; how to extract useful knowledge and gain a sound understanding in complex data sets has been more of a challenge."
Statistics II
"This course will introduce you to a number of statistical tools and techniques that are routinely used by modern statisticians for a wide variety of applications. First, we will review basic knowledge and skills that you learned in MA121: Introduction to Statistics."

Open Course Library

Open Course Library was developed by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Washington State Legislature. This material is created under a Creative Commons license with the intent that you take it and make it your own.

Introduction to Statistics
"In this course, we will introduce some of the more common tools for analyzing data
of several types. "
Calculus I
"Calculate or estimate limits of functions given by formulas, graphs, or tables; also using properties of limits and L’hopital’s Rule.
State whether a function given by a graph or formula is continuous or differentiable at a given point or on a given interval and justify your answer."
Calculus II
"Continues the study of integration, emphasizing applications and special techniques. Students work with algebraic and transcendental functions"
