The need for an OER textbook on conceptual physics led to the discovery of a short book Matthew Raspanti posted on the internet back in 2008. He agreed to a CC-BY-NC-SA licence that permits the text to reside on Wikiversity as a pdf file. It is available as a single 162 page document, as well as 20 much shorter documents to facilitate online navigation.

Each of these 20 sections links out of a WIKI page that will permit the submission and sharing of ancillary materials under a CC-BY-SA license. These wiki-pages can be organized to host an arbitrary number of submissions by students, as well as by instructors.

These pre-assignments solutions are aligned with the topics in the Calculus I Lecture Notes. On average, there are three pre-assignments per week of lectures. All files are included in a single zip folder as well. With the exception of a few of the application problems, all materials are original. They were funded by the THECB OER Development and Implementation Grant, 2021.

This is a focused collection of notes for a course in precalculus math taught at San Jacinto College (Houston, Texas). In less than 260 pages, the course offers a compact delivery of the core concepts that students ought to understand prior to taking calculus. In addition to learning algebraic and computational skills, the course is designed for learning how to think mathematically. The chapters on mathematical language and problem-solving highlight this latter objective.

These open-source mathematics assignments are created to be used through the WeBWorK open-source online homework system. The assignments correspond to selected sections in the OpenStax Precalculus textbook. They were created with the help of a 2020-2022 Open Educational Resources (OER) Course Development and Implementation Grant Program through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
