MIT OpenCourseWare
http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) invites you to view the available courses through their MIT OpenCourseWare site. The course materials that are used in the teaching of almost all MIT's undergraduate and graduate subjects are
available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world.
Because MIT OCW is not a distance-learning initiative, there is no registration or enrollment process required for users to view course materials. Nor is there a certificate or degree granted upon completion of the materials. MIT OCW is a publication of the course materials that support the dynamic classroom interactions of an MIT education.
Specifically, the mathematics course materials can be found here:

Calculus for Beginners and Artists by Daniel Kleitman

Calculus by Gilbert Strang
http://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/resources/Strang/strangtext.htm
MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative funded jointly by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, MIT, and generous support of the Ab Initio software company.
AMS Releases Latest Mathematical Moments
http://www.ams.org/mathmoments
Many people may not realize that math is used to create realistic-looking video games, model low-energy pathways for space travel, solve crimes, predict severe storm surge, analyze artists' styles, detect connections in Congress, find oil, and board airplanes faster. The American Mathematical Society's latest Mathematical Moments explain how.
Intended for students, parents, teachers, administrators, elected officials -- everyone -- these introductory "snapshots" in the Mathematical Moments program help to promote appreciation and understanding of the role mathematics plays in science, nature, technology, and human culture. All of the Moments (some of which are translated into Spanish and other languages) are PDF files that may be freely downloaded.
