This site is designed to introduce OER initiatives, explain creative commons licensing and OER, and to help you get started searching for Open Educational Resources for teaching and learning.
The College Open Textbooks Collaborative is focused on driving awareness and adoptions of open textbooks to more than 2000 community and other two-year colleges.
The B.C. Open Textbook Project is funded by the BC Ministry of Advanced Education to provide flexible and affordable access to higher education resources.
This is a collection of openly licensed Math textbooks approved by the American Institute of Mathematics. Books span Liberal Arts Math, Precalculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Structures, and Complex Analysis among others.
The material is presented at a level that prepares a student for Calculus while giving them relevant Mathematics which can be used in other classes as well. Graphing calculators are used sparingly and only as a tool to enhance the Mathematics, not to replace it.
This book is well organized, covers single variable and multivariable Calculus in depth, and is rich with applications. There is also an online Instructor's Manual and a student Study Guide.
Written in a clear and accurate language that students can understand, Trench's new book minimizes the number of explicitly stated theorems and definitions. Instead, he deals with concepts in a conversational style that engages students.
This textbook takes a developmental approach to the standard topics of Linear Algebra, Gaussian reduction, vector spaces, linear maps, determinants, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Desmos is a math engine that can graph any equation, including derivatives and Fourier series. Interactive sliders enable users to demonstrate function transformations.
Anyone who works with LaTeX knows how time-consuming it can be to find a symbol that you cannot memorize the mark-up for. Detexify is an attempt to simplify the search. Users draw a symbol in a window on the page and Detexify matches it to its corresponding LaTeX markup.
GeoGebra is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that brings together geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-to-use package.
Mathcentre provides support material for a variety of math classes. Math centre is divided in classes and each class is separated into key topics featuring videos and reference sheets on topic specific material.
MyOpenMath is a free and open version of MyMathLab or WebAssign. Instructors can create randomized algorithmically generated problems for their students or choose from problems already created by other instructors.
SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more.
