Introduction to Communication Research
Lindsey Jo Hand, Erin Ryan, and Karen Sichler · Kennesaw State University
Welcome to your journey to becoming a communication scholar! We developed this workbook to guide you through the semester as you learn how understand and conduct scholarly research. What does it mean to be a scholar? A scholar is someone who specializes in a particular area of study. For you, this area is communication. And how do you become a scholar? By doing research.

Applied Geometric Algebra
László Tisza · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The mathematical tools employed by physicists have expanded considerably, from differential calculus, vector algebra and geometry, to advanced linear algebra, tensors, Hilbert space, spinors, Group theory and many others. These course notes attempt at bringing conceptual clarity and unity to the application and interpretation of these advanced mathematical tools. In particular, there is an emphasis on the unifying role that Group theory plays in classical, relativistic, and quantum physics.

Geometric Optics
Jeremy Tatum · University of Victoria
This “book” is not intended to be a vast, definitive treatment of everything that is known about geometric optics. It covers, rather, the geometric optics of first-year students, whom it will either help or confuse yet further, though I hope the former. The part of geometric optics that often causes the most difficulty, particularly in getting the right answer for homework or examination problems, is the vexing matter of sign conventions in lens and mirror calculations.

Applied Ecology
Wikipedia · Wikibooks
It is intended that this book should contain a body of knowledge about the use of ecological theory and principles to solve problems associated with the intensive human use of the environment. It is beyond our capacity to return Earth to a primeval state, but what we can do is build a technological ‘ark’ to retain as much ecological integrity as possible. To achieve this, many aspects of ecology have to be applied to manage conservation systems.

Astronomy 10: The Solar System (Workbook)
Andrew Totah-McCarty · Chabot College
This is a student-led astronomy workbook that is designed for an introductory, college-level astronomy class that focuses on the solar system and planetary science. Celestial observation concepts are included but stars, galaxies, and cosmology are not. The activities are designed to be completed in groups prior to any formal lecture or introduction of material. Lecture summaries (not included) can review, synthesize, and expand on these ideas.

Mapping, Society, and Technology
Steven Manson · University of Minnesota
This book is about how to read, use, and create maps. Our exploration of maps will be informed by a contextual understanding of how maps reflect the relationship between society and technology, and how mapping is an essential form of scientific and artistic inquiry. We will also explore how mapping is used to address a variety of societal issues, such as land use planning and political gerrymandering to selling yogurt.

Music and the Child
Natalie Sarrazin · College at Brockport, SUNY
This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children’s lives through play, games, creativity, and movement.

Biophysical Chemistry
Serge L. Smirnov and James McCarty · Western Washington University
We wrote this text to serve as the primary source for a series of Biophysical Chemistry courses that we regularly teach as faculty members of the Chemistry Department at Western Washington University, which serve the needs of undergraduate Biochemistry program. The present text is based on the assumption of what WWU Biochemistry majors know and do not know at the time they enter their final year of study toward Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry.

Teaching AI Ethics
Leon Furze · LibreTexts
And yet, as much as I enjoy working with the technology, it has many flaws. I think it’s our responsibility to discuss the ethical considerations of AI with our students. AI ethics goes beyond the well-documented “algorithmic bias” that results in language models like ChatGPT producing racist and sexist output. In this article, I will explore nine ethical considerations ranging from “beginner” to “intermediate” and “advanced” levels.

Numerically Solving Ordinary Differential Equations
Stuart Brorson · Northeastern University
The booklet covers basic Euler solvers, Runge-Kutta, and linear multistep methods and discusses explicit vs. implicit methods. It discusses stability and the stability domains of some of the methods and talks about adaptive methods and the concept of stiffness and concluding with a chapter on symplectic methods and why they are important. Beyond the solver algorithms, the book includes many example ODEs and shows their solutions using the methods discussed. Matlab programs accompany the text.
