Textbooks
A number of print and electronic resources for GVSU Mathematics Department courses have been written by GVSU's own mathematics faculty. Below are links to those resources.
Textbooks
- Active Prelude to Calculus by M. Boelkins -- used in MTH 124
- Active Calculus Single Variable by M. Boelkins, D. Austin, & S. Schlicker (free PDF or Google Docs download) -- used in MTH 201 (Calculus) and MTH 202 (Calculus 2)
- Active Calculus Multivariable by S. Schlicker, D. Austin, & M. Boelkins -- used in MTH 203 (Calculus 3)
- Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof by T. Sundstrom (free PDF download) -- used in MTH 210 (Communicating in Mathematics)

- An Inquiry-Based Introduction to Linear Algebra and Applications by F. Alayont and S. Schlicker. "The first two thirds of this text introduces linear algebra through matrix algebra with an emphasis on applications. The text is used in a freshman level two course linear algebra sequence. The last third of the text focuses on abstract vector spaces and their applications."
- Linear Algebra and Applications: An Inquiry-Based Approach by F. Alayont and S. Schlicker. This textbook was used for a traditional two-semester linear algebra course with application projects included in each section.
