Open Content/Source Texts:
- Open Textbook Library at the University of Minnesota. This is probably the best assembled collection of open resource texts out there.
- College Open Textbooks "...focused on driving awareness and adoptions of open textbooks to more than 2000 community and other two-year colleges."
- Open Text Bookstore
- Open Textbook Initiative from the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM). A number of undergraduate texts approved by the AIM editorial board.
- Dana C. Ernst A private individual's compilation of open content/source texts, leaning toward upper-level undergraduate.
- Marcel B. Finan A selection of open content texts, all written by one individual.
- George Cain Another private individual's compilation, with an emphasis toward upper level undergraduate and graduate level texts. There are a few calculus texts listed as well.
- Gregg Waterman Open source texts I have written. These are in various states of completion/revision.
Video Libraries:
- Mathispower4u My favorite producer of mathematics videos. They are very well made by a person who clearly has classroom experience.
- Patrick JMT (Just Math Tutoring). Not as slick as the above, but generally good. A student here at our school once told me that "PatrickJMT got me through calculus!"
- Khan Academy Well known and backed by Bill Gates. I find the videos a bit slow, and the presenter's lack of a teaching/tutoring background leads at times to poor presentation.
- Gregg Waterman My own Youtube channel. Nowhere near the production value of the other providers listed above, but I hope to improve my technology and presentation as time goes on.

Examples of Compiled Open Content:
- The section on solving applied optimization problems here illustrates a possibility for aggregating open content materials.
- This shows a compilation with a focus on enrichment, versus developing skills.
