A First Course in Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers
Russell Herman · University of North Carolina Wilmington
This book is written for an undergraduate course on the introduction to differential equations typically taken by majors in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. In this course we will investigate analytical, graphical, and approximate solutions of differential equations. We will study the theory, methods of solution and applications of ordinary differential equations. This will include common methods of finding solutions, such as using Laplace transform and power series methods.

Math 223 Calculus 3
LibreTexts
This book considers what happens when we broaden our view of what a function is to include functions that have more than one input, or that produce more than one result, or both. In particular, we consider what it means for such a function to have a limit, and how to differentiate or integrate such functions. In the course of learning these things, we will also encounter many applications of so-called multivariable and vector-valued functions in the natural and social sciences.

Plant Breeding Methods
Walter R. Fehr and Walter P. Suza · Iowa State University
This text has been compiled to provide an overview of how plant breeders develop cultivars of plant species. The methods that breeders use depend directly on the type of cultivar used to produce a commercial crop. he four most common types of cultivars are (a) clonal cultivars (b) synthetic cultivars (c) pure-line cultivars and (d) hybrid cultivars. These types of cultivars will be discussed throughout the book, alongside review questions for self-study.

Athabasca University Chemistry 360 Organic Chemistry II
Dietmar Kennepohl · Athabasca University
CHEM 360 deals with the chemistry of carbon compounds through a study of the characteristic reactions of the common functional groups. The chemistry of alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, carbohydrates, and amines are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the study of reaction mechanisms, in an attempt to show similarities between apparently unrelated reactions. The importance of stereochemistry is stressed throughout the course.

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.

Organic Chemistry - A "Carbonyl Early" Approach
Kirk McMichael · Washington State University
This is the textbook for a one semester organic chemistry "survey" course . You will be learning and applying the principles which govern the structure of organic compound and relating your understanding of structure to the reactions--the changes in structure--which happen when specific portions of organic compounds interact with other chemical substances. We will spend the first several weeks of the semester looking at a group of organic compounds which share a common structural element--the ca
