Textbooks

Here is a partial list of free and/or open-source textbooks. If you find one of these more helpful than another, please let me know. Also, take a peek at Rob Beezer's selection on this page. Moreover, the American Institute of Mathematics maintains a list of approved open-source textbooks. Also, check out the free computer science books by Allen B. Downey (Olin College) at Green Tea Press. Downey's Textbook manifesto is definitely worth reading.

Calculus by Gilbert Strang (MIT). This book is available as a free PDF from the MIT Open Courseware Project. There are also some corresponding videos, which can be found here.
Calculus Refresher by Paul Garrett (University of Minnesota). Another free PDF. This short book seems designed for students who have had some experience with calculus and need some review.
Funny Little Calculus Text by Robert Ghrist (University of Pennsylvania). Currently only first semester calculus, very short, and no exercises, but a free PDF.
Paul's Online Math Notes by Paul Dawkins (Lamar University). Paul's notes cover Calculus 1-3, Linear Algebra, and more. The notes are available as free HTML-based material. These notes seem to be popular with students.
Differential Calculus with Sage by David Joyner (United States Naval Academy, retired) and William Granville. This free book is based on Granville's classic text book Elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus, which fell into the public domain. The book covers first semester calculus and incorporates Sage, which is an open-source mathematics software package.
Integral Calculus with Sage by Dale Hoffman (Bellevue Community College), William Stein (SageMath), and David Joyner (United States Naval Academy, retired). The book picks up where the previous book left off.
Contemporary Calculus by Dale Hoffman (Bellevue Community College). A free online calculus text that is being developed for the Open Course Library Project of the Washington State Colleges. This book is part of the foundation for the previous book. It covers three semesters of calculus and seems to do a thorough job of it, but the formatting is awful.

Differential Equations

Elementary Differential Equations and Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems by William Trench (Trinity College). Both books were previously published by Brooks/Cole Thomson Learning. PDF and LaTeX source files are available for free.
Introductory Differential Equations using Sage (PDF) by David Joyner (United States Naval Academy, retired).

Discrete Mathematics

This book is included in the approved list of textbooks for the Open Textbook Initiative by the American Institute of Mathematics. There are also over 100 screencasts that accompany the book.

Linear Algebra

A First Course in Linear Algebra by Rob Beezer (Puget Sound University). FCLA is a free and open-source introductory textbook designed for university sophomores and juniors. The book begins with systems of linear equations, then covers matrix algebra, before taking up finite-dimensional vector spaces in full generality. The book is available for free in PDF and HTML form.
Linear Algebra by Jim Hefferon (St. Michael's College). This is another free and open-source textbook.
Linear Algebra by David Clark (SUNY New Paltz). These notes are available for free from the Journal of Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics. The notes are designed for an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach to the subject.
Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang (MIT). This isn't really a textbook, but rather free course materials, including videos, available from the MIT Open Courseware Project.
Paul's Online Math Notes by Paul Dawkins (Lamar University).

Combinatorics

Combinatorics Through Guided Discovery by Kenneth Bogart. These notes are maintained by the chair of the Mathematics Department at Dartmouth College.

Land Acknowledgement

Flagstaff and NAU sit at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, on homelands sacred to Native Americans throughout the region. The Peaks, which includes Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), the highest point in Arizona, have religious significance to several Native American tribes. In particular, the Peaks form the Diné (Navajo) sacred mountain of the west, called Dook'o'oosłííd, which means "the summit that never melts". The Hopi name for the Peaks is Nuva'tukya'ovi, which translates to "place-of-snow-on-the-very-top". The land in the the area surrounding Flagstaff is the ancestral homeland of the Hopi, Ndee/Nnēē (Western Apache), Yavapai, A:shiwi (Zuni Pueblo), and Diné (Navajo). We honor their past, present, and future generations, who have lived here for millennia and will forever call this place home.
