This is a text for the standard three-semester course in single and multivariable calculus for science and engineering students. 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 Southern Virginia University. 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 3.0.
